Nice post.

I think that many people complaining about the DC think that once fixed by a DC party, it's good as new. I'd be surprised if that was the case. It's like Il-2: if you get hit by enemy fire enough to leak or at all compromise the aerodynamics of the plane---GO HOME. RTB. Run. The same is true of subs. If a distant DC bangs you up a little, by all means continue the patrol. OTOH, if you take the kind of damage you clearly took, even if repaired discretion would say to RTB. Anyone who thinks at sea DC is any kind of definitive repair deserves the sinking they will likely get IMO.
