Incidentally, does anyone know the purpose of the radio 'Report Contacts' button? Every time I click on it, regardless of whatever messages I have sent/received, I get the same message 'No radio messages received.'

This creates an alternative possibility:
If the 'Report Contacts' button really serves no other use, we can turn it into an emergency 'Abandon ship' button, without need to use the radio Status Report at all. All it needs is a depth test - the button can only be used when depth is < 15 metres to prevent use while submerged.
I think it could well be replaced -lettering and all- for a button that is "Abandon and scuttle UBoat", which both sends the message to BDU (BDU can answer "Acknowledged, will try to send pick up" or something similar) and triggers charges 5 minutes later.

Simply this would be awesome and probably also solves the problem of died/surving crew members etc
