That right there might have weakened the hull, severely reducing the crush depth. The others didn't help.

Being a former Navy man, I'm sure you'll agree that real naval vessels don't go off of a hull integrity percentage, it goes off flooding alone correct? Isn't it true that ships that have been blown in half still need to flood to sink, am I right?

You're absolutely right. There are known cases of merchants breaking in half, with one end sinking and the other being towed to port for salvage. Unfortunately the game isn't designed to work that way. As I said before, an ending would be nice. If you've managed repairs but some part of the hull gave out it would feel better to have a cut scene, or at least be told that something somewhere gave out and there was no chance to stop it. Closure is everything.

I just get frustrated with it. It's a sim I know, but if it's gonna be a sim, then I would request this arcade feature be removed, and option to quit be left up to the player.

I agree to a point. Sometimes things just slip beyond your control, and there's nothing more to be done. What would be good would be some variety.
