Are you sure it's not just loading the electrical engines after the dive?

That is to charge your batteries. It will be online again after a while. Or you ask your LI to stop charging it.

oh thanks. I haven't played for a while so I forgot

that happened to me too. I felt a fleeting moment of panic when I surfaced, and the right prop was not turning. Then I remembered that the recharge command is automatically carried out whenever there is less than 100% charge. I was hugely relieved...

I had a similar problem. I surfaced to conduct an attack on a merchant I was tracking and no diesels were working. I was DIW. The diesel compartment was fully manned. Finally dove and pursued on electric engines. Came back up and the diesels were fine!

P.S. I did catch the merchant and sent him to the bottom.
