A bomb explodes somewhat close to the boat. A weld is weakened, but has not yet failed. When a certain pressure is applied, the weld will fail.
What does the XO and damage control party know? How much could they know?
(serious question)
Not saying that some concept of the hull damage would NEVER be known, but I am saying it is possible to be very hit or miss. Any system that tells you for sure is cheating, IMO.
