Hi guys,

Had a bit of contact with mother earth and got a leak in my torpedo compartment. I got the flooding fixed but I can't seem to get rid of the water in the compartment. Because of the water I can't keep my depth when diving if not moving over 4 knots and I need to go back to base. Shouldn't I be able to pump the water out or something?

Put an Officer, some Petty Officers & Crewmen in the damage control portion of the crew stations. Hopefully an officer and PO's with Repair Capability.

Click on the area you want to have pumped out in the damage control area and you should see a little wrench appear and start moving. Leave them at it for a while and you will see the water level reduce, over time, to nothing.

In order for this to work you cannot be in Silent Running Mode.

I've had this happen before. Damage that causes a flood, but once repairs are complete, the water seems to stay. Doesn't increase, and doesn't appear to have any further effect, other than frayed nerves. I put my incident down to a glitch, and don't worry too much about it.

Thanks, this did the trick.

Yeah, I did have the repairs completed but the water not removed. However, placing the guys in the compartment and having a repair crew ready removed the water after a while.
