Thanks all.
Alrighty then, looks like my repair crew was just undermanned. Once I assigned more petty officers the pumping icons came up and the wrenches started to turn.
All for moot though. I was able to get the flooding under control and stop the free fall at about 150m, but by the time I was half way into repairing the mechanical damage, the DD brought friends....that decided to pummel me into submission.
I hate you GWX!
