Also remember that every crewman in a given compartment does his best to stop flooding when it comes to it. So if your repair crew is too little and can't help a lot, just place your ordinary crewmen in the compartments that need their hands, and they'll do their best. Then you usue your repair team only in that places that have too few slots to put enough crew in and that are flooded fastest or are most flooded and your boat falls down to sea floor or need to be repaired first on some tactical purposes.
