So, what would you do?

I'm pretty sure I could have puttered along on battery for a bit, though the aft battery was listed as "destroyed" and consequently the battery meter was down to like 30 percent. We had nearly a full charge before that.

I don't know how hard it was to maintain depth without moving, but we had a full tank of compressed air so we could have gone to periscope depth and hovered, motionless, while waiting for rescue.
