This little uncontrolled dive happened after taking only slight (yellow) damage from being rammed by a DD when I panicked and pressed C...we obviously had some flooding and the bloody boat just would not pull up, I tried full reverse, blow main ballast etc and then was just starting to pray when the bows came up and she started back up again - I have to say it cost me a LOT of hull integrity, can't quite remember how much but safe to say I did not want to deeper than Periscope depth on the return to port.

Of course, if you have damage then more than likely you will just keep on diving...

One recent patrol the presure hull let go after a deep dive to 180m to avoid DCs - but only once I had got the boat back up to 20m with warnings of "We have flooding sir!" constantly...thought I might have made it with the repair crew working like mad but then WHAM "Submarine destroyed due to pressure".
