Curses! Officer stuck in bilge?

Sensekhmet · 09-02-08, 09:22 AM

I decided to disregard my orders and steered my IXB to Gibraltar. It was all fun and games until I got spanked: a blindingly fast attack by an aircraft (with rockets?) wiped out all aboard, that being all flak and deck gunners, somehow my watch officer made it unscathed. Everything on the conning tower was blown clean off, no periscopes and no antennas. I high tailed it home, burying the crew at sea on the way.
But since then, my damage control officer dissapeared. I have a habit of putting an officer and a couple of sailors in the damage control team as a part of my routine operations at the start of every patrol.
The problem is, I still see his number in the barracks panel (officers: 5/5) and in SH3 Commander crew menu, but he's nowhere to be found, incuding his post! I can't see him in the crew panel and he sure as hell isn't performing his functions. I think he might've gotten scared of the attack, maybe he hid in the bilge and got stuck there

As I can't see his icon, I cannot dissmiss him, and I can't promote him in SH3 Commander to get rid of him so he can get his own boat to hide in. Very annoying, started to roll back saves only to discover it doesn't help! I already lost 3 patrols (6 months or so) this way!
Help!
