What is the meaning

of this symbols?

The one on the right means that the water pump is working. The one on the left if I remember correctly (I'm not too sure though) means that the compartment is flooding. The two numbers mater actually. It takes 18 minutes (I think they are minutes at least) for the pump to take all the water out and it takes 25 hours for the compartment to flood.

I believe that the left is saying that it's 18 seconds to pump that compartment out, and the right is saying 25 minutes and 27 seconds before it's entirely flooded.

Looking at the pictures I believe you are in deep doo doo

. I think the left one is how long until the water is pumped and the right one is repair time. Only guessing on the right hand one.

Agree with Cheapshot: Its 18 seconds to your pump gets rid of the water.Its 25 minutes and 27 seconds to complete flooding of this compartment.

You can survive a department becoming completely flooded but it is highly likely you won't because the weight of the addittional water will probably make your boat sink to it's crush depth and flooding is usually accompanied with damage in other areas of your sub as well

Could repair fix this?

Yep if you have crews working on the compartment and you're pumping out water you can save the boat. The more damaged the compartment the more water it takes in.

So if the (left number) > (right number) you can't fix it! But...if a compartment is totally flooded ,are you dead?

The crew in it certainly is, but I believe you can survive a compartment being completely flooded. Of course I myself never have!

I think you can make it even if [left number] > [right number]. Just math: You need for example 1 hour to pump the water and 50 minutes to get fully flooded. But after 50 minutes 5/6 of the water that was in the compartment at start of counting is pumped out (so only 1/6 remains) and some new water came in. This mass of new water fills — I think — the space that was not flooded before completely, but now you have 5/6 of the previously flooded space emptied, so you still have free space and some "field for maneuvers", as we say in Polish.

Complicated, but seems quite logical… What do you think?
