A collection of embarrassments

I feel your pain.

I've had careers end in a very unsatisfying manner as well. One, on my 4th patrol, after being at sea for 2 months and only finding one ship (but countless planes), decided to return to base. On the way back, I dived to PS depth to evade another aircraft. Kaboom! Career over. Should have gone deep. That really hurt; I had what I consider a pretty good tonnage (for a S-boat). Next career, I depart Manila before the Pearl Harbor attack. I am trying to master celestial navigation and dead reckoning as I cruise toward the Luzon Str. War breaks out and again a plane flys out of the clouds and blows me up while I'm at PS depth. I never even saw a Japanese ship. Honestly, I was so frustrated with the dead reckoning business, that I really didn't care that much about the career.

You can be sure, that I'm very careful about aircraft now.

BTW, are you playing vanilla? If so, you should consider using one of the supermods.
