Out of gas!!!!!!

I just want to say thank you for all of your inputs. Y'all have been a great amount of help. Some of y'all asked if I had any damage and the answer is yes but very minor and it was fixed very quickly. I still find it very hard to believe that during the time we spent in WW2 that not one of are boys didn't make it back due to fuel shortage wheather they were damage or not. I read one thread saying something about a US submarine cost somewhere around $7,000,000 back in those days that was a great amount of money and sorry I don't think they would have left them to the sharks if they would have ran out of fuel accidentally. I was only like 65NM from Midway. So what I am getting at I think if you are a certain distance from a friendly base and you run out of fuel due to damage or not due damage you should be able to get a tow no matter if it is realistic or not just like in Silent Hunter 1. That game I play for years until they came out with silent hunter 2. But once again thanx for the help. And next time I will keep a very close eye on my fuel situation.
