Received damage from an island battery resulting in minor damage (<.02) to bulkheads, diesels, batteries, electric motors, attack periscope head, few others on May 23. Seven days later after sailing mostly surfaced to Caroline’s at battle stations and fully manned damage control section none of the damage indicators (<.02) reduced. Using version 1.26. Usually this minor damage was repaired within hours of surfacing at battle stations. Is this something new with 1.2, or 1.24 or 1.26?

In addition to Gray Lensman's comments, which interrupts the "timer" for repairs, you can also have interior, as well as exterior damage to most of the items you mention. Some of those are non-repairable, and the batteries and motors, no matter what, are ever "fully repaired" while you are on patrol.
Another point, is that while on Battle Stations, you crew "fatigues" faster, and never rest, to the point that your crew will eventually quit working, and then quit following orders, so turning off Battle Stations but leaving the Damage Control Team working is best. You will notice some of them "sleeping" as you are traveling... at least, they should... else you'll over-work them... lol
