We know that most engineers would give the captain his best guess on hull damage and the captain would base his decision on this best guess. In my view there should be something other than a number for hull integrity. In other words, the engineer would state, hull in poor condition or light damage. The engineer is never 100% sure of the damage and what the boat can do or not do. IMHO there should be :

Light Damage
Moderate Damage
Severe Damage
WE ARE SINKING!

Since the engineer is making his best guess, then the captain will need to make his best guess as what to do. I think the guys who created GWX are working on something like this.
Until this comes along, I'll stick with the hull integrity being on.
