You Know You're Having A Tough Day...

[Snuffy]

I had battery damage and some hull damage from a run in with a couple of aircraft.
My initial base at Manilla was overrun by the enemy. I had to go to Austrailia to get my boat fixed ... it was my 4th mission on my third career. We were quite successful.

50 miles out from the base in Austrailia, I run out of diesel fuel. I can't submerge and run on battery cuz they're damaged and if I even attempt to go to periscope depth, because of the damage to the hull, I start sinking like a lead balloon. Blowing ballast got me back safely to the surface but ... I can't go anywhere.

Is there a command for running the batteries while surfaced?

I trashed the career and started another one.
