If you know the Elco (speed boat) is coming, change your course and travel at 1kt as deep as you can. You can usually escape an Elco after it has found you just by changing course, the Elco will normally circle your last known position until backup arrives.

Or you can take a totally different route away from the sinking merchant and bypass the Elco & Destroyer completely.

You should be able to escape.

It will be hard and you may need many course changes.

that is the best bet, following danlisas advice. it may even be worth motoring off quietly in the opposite direction from which the DD and elco came - if you can create enough space in time, you might be outside their search pattern and thus escape!

All of the above is good advise.

Main trick of getting away is to put some distance from position you launched the torpedoes.

Aaaaand (for future use) Stay away from shallow water!

Good luck!!
