Silent running is a state where the engine is turned down to 2, no reloading or repairing etc. What I mean is that the engine is not technically in silent mode but going at slow speed makes it quieter.

Thanks for your answer.
So "silent running" is not a technical engine / equipment thing, but only means slow movement and no/little noises being made in the boat? |
Correct. Electric engines on 2kts and crew very quiet. No torpedo loading or repairs to be made.
Welcome aboard Swab.
