So if you are about to be depth charged, move your active watch crew and (especially) the gun crews to empty berths somewhere, if at all possible. That will place them "inside" the submarine, protected by its "armor" - not that they can't still be injured, just that they have a little more "armor protection". The deck watch has the conning tower "armor" to hide behind if left in position, but the gun crews don't - go figure...
That leaves me with another question. Is it wise to leave a few births open when leaving a base or leave with a full compliment of crew?
