You were extremely lucky. I am guessing that you were playing stock. I could be wrong. Corvettes/Destroyer Escorts are very effective at making a sub's soon-to-be short life miserable. Flower Class Corvettes are nasty. Consider yourself fortunate and remember that it is highly likely that the next time, the corvette will smoke you.
