what effect does battlestations have and when should it be used?

From my brief experience, it activates your Damage Control team, arms your deck gun and AA gun if you're on the surface, and maximizes the efficiency of every department on the boat.

I guess the best answer would be to use it whenever you're facing imminent danger.

Remember to shut it off or else your crew will be heavily fatigued. Especially if you do any time compressing.

and deactivate damage control when silent running, or they'll hear you

It brings all three shifts on-line, and activates all those who were stated above. This means that everything is max manned, and the most experienced are taking their battle station positions. To be used only when necessary. You can make most runs on target without it to be honest, you just wont have the reload or the repair time as fast, so only use it when going against a hardenned convoy. Furthermore if your tactics are sound, you fire from far enough, and become a hole in the water underneath the thermal layer, way underneath, you should have no problem hitting that choice target.

Question: what if the DC team has nothing to repair? Will it STILL be heard if not shut down during silent running at GQ?
