This would be a viable work around to the both engines dead hard coded problem in the game. Or a "I ran out of fuel but still floating; can't I get a tow?" type of fix.

I was leaving Dutch Harbor (not my home base) when I got rammed by a patrolling DD that suddenly went ALL BACK EMERGENCY on me. I sank by the bow in shallow water. Conning tower and all aft still above water and in real life probably could have refloated with a few days heavy work over the sides but since my bow was touching the harbor floor I started the "We're taking damage" dance of death.

I could have used this to simulate a patch up and return to Pearl for repair.

It would be not so much of a "cheat" if you could add transit time onto the patrol. Then it wouldn't be a time warp. I bet it's possible. Just a matter of finding the right data spots.
