No, you can't repair them, but if you save and exit they will be repaired when you reload.

Indeed "realistic career length" is also what I am using, but I did not know that my career would end soooo soon! It's June 1940.
It's based partly on how many patrols you have completed. I think the random factor starts after six patrols, but you might get twice that before being retired from active duty. You can also 'unretire'.

Now I am wondering if more sub-simmers use the "malfunctions and sabotage" option and "realistic career length"?
I use 'Realistic Career Length' and 'Malfunctions', but not 'Sabotage'. Maybe if I ever have a career last long enough that I get based in France...

Furthermore, my Kapitänleutnant did not retired, he went to Kiel for another job at the Kriegsmarine (that was the SH3 Commander message) LOL!
He retired from active sea duty, but not from the KM itself.

This is "hocus pocus" to me ... if this is correct English language too?
Perfect English, actually. Yes, one of the problems with SH3 is ships sinking from bad weather. It happens quite a lot.
