I think I've got this woked out
I got bombed on patrol and lost two members of my deck watch. Damage was pretty bad, so I decided to head back to port. I cranked up the time compression and, after a moment, got one of those 'man down' messages. Sure enough, another deck watchman had died.
I took a close look at each man on watch and noticed that some of them were below 100% health. The next time I got a 'man down' notice I went to see who it was. Lo, and behold, the most heavily injured guy (health was down to 17 or something) had died.
It seems that some wounded men get progressively worse as time goes by. What I don't know is if you can slow or stop the degeneration of their health by taking them off duty somehow.
Can anyone else confirm that injured sailors continue to lose health?
