Meanwhile, remember that a submarine is designed to sink. One compartment full of water - especially one at the ends - will drag the boat down, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The aft torpedo room on a u-boat is also the e-machine room, so if it's flooded the underwater motors won't work. Blowing ballast at that point is pretty much useless.
