Believe it or not, before there was a fire suppression system and bilge pumps installed and there was a bug that kept re-igniting the torpedo fuel bins, I had to do the very same thing!

I've just had a killer time with a fire in the torpedo room whilst submerged to 14 metres. The fire destroyed one of the fuel bins as well as breaching the pressure hull letting in water and putting the fire out. I surfaced the boat draining the water out and sent someone in to repair the fuel bin. A large fuel fire broke out, killing my repairman. I had dive to 1 metre, flooding the room and extinguishing the fire, then resurfacing to drain it again, then send in another repairman. Repeat steps with repairman, fire, death, flood, drain, repair, fire etc until I'm running out of sailors!
