if you have a lot of crew injured or dead---things take a heck of a lot longer to repair--last patrol it took half an hour to repair the port electric engine---mind you half the crew was dead-and the other half were thrown into fatigued status by low morale---

was fortunate i didn't get attacked again as i was un able to move--lol

starboard electric engine was fine--but the starboard prop was destroyed--
all in all it took over half an hour to repair both the port electric engine and the port prop---front and aft batterys were allso damaged--

so maybe there's a clue there---reducing the number of crew doing a "two for one" type approach to crew members--half-ing the number of crew on board (is this possible?) im sure i must be--
summat along those lines perhaps
