Hull Integrity

I returned from a patrol down the US east coast where I got attacked by several aircraft. I started to head back after particularly heavy mauling. I thought I had about 60-70% hull integrity (I have it hidden) and was regularly diving to 50m to avoid aircraft and storms. I got back to find I only had 32% hull integrity, which to say the least surprised me. Dread to think how close I was to imploding.

So the questions are.....
what is the lowest HI you have returned with?
what depth were you diving to?
and if you have HI hidden....
what HI did you estiamte you had?
what depth would you have gone to if you had known the true value?
