Sailing home..

[Missing Name]

I try to sail back, and then hit "esc" when I'm 25km or so away from home.

If fuel supplies say I can't make it to my home base, I head to the nearest friendly port or supply ship.

If I can't even do that ("Both propellers destroyed, Herr Kaluen!"), THEN I teleport. Not much else to do except surrender, I suppose.

I get close enough to home, certainly within the area Commander starts me at sea, and then teleport - I ain't tying up and then getting bombed during an air raid! I've seen the film!

Exactly. Only one difference.
If the Uboot is disabled and cannot return home (engines , propellers destroyed) I roll a dice. If a 6 shows up then I am saved by another Uboot and I can continue my career with a different sub as the current one will be destroyed. If any other number appeares then it is over POW or dead by exposure.
