"DO NOT USE THIS CREW MEMBER. PLACE IN AFTER BATTERY COMPARTMENT IF YOU THINK HE MAY DIE".

What the heck does this mean lol?

Where exactly is "AFTER BATTERY COMPARTMENT"?

I found the guy but he just appears to be in the radio room with everyone else. He doesn't appear to have any special skills other than a green fuel tank or whatever that is.

Just wondering what I'm supposed to do with this dude.

Ahoy mate after spending some time at sea members of your crew earn special abilities. If the fuel tank is green I believe you have him in the right compartment. He makes your submarine more fuel efficient. You don't have to do anything with him. Usually when I end patrol I replace the special ability guys with regular guys but that's just me

yes, that crew member has "special abilities" over and above what a normal crew member has. the after-battery-room is a reference to a safe area of the boat. depending on what mod you are playing there may not be a safe compartment on your boat. it is not david-thompson specific. as you play out your career, you may have additional crew acquire a special ability. look for that to occur when you promote a crew member to chief or from CPO to commissioned officer.

some skippers like to operate with crew that have special ability and some, such as captcrane, do not. the choice is yours.
btw, what mod-set are you playing?
