After sustaining damage, and activating the damage control crew, it didn't make much sense not to reload the tubes, they already knew I was there. I had to activate the damage control crew, the bulkhead in the fore torpedo room was leaking and I was taking on water. I couldn't control depth. At one time, the warning depth for the Salmon class boats is 250', I was at 280'!

And in order to keep from sinking too deep, I had to maintain at least "ahead full." And several times I had to go to flank speed.

So I reloaded the fore tubes.
With all that banging and thrashing around why even bother with silent running :p

Honestly its nothing short of a miracle you got away but still ... good job.
