Damage control parties??

How do I set up and monitor the damage control parties??
I was rammed by a fast moving destroyer/escort at periscope depth while stalking a large convoy of ships. I Immediately crash dived to 150 meters.
Leveled off at 1-5-0 meters and rigged for silent running. I placed myself in the middle of the convoy staying at 1-5-0 meters and set speed at 5 knots. Now I figured I could hide under the convoy and conduct repairs until night fall, only a couple of hours away and then with repairs made come up and reak havoc on the convoy in the dark from within the middle.
Now when I went to the crew and damage management I noticed that the damage control screen had no one assigned to it. Foward batteries damaged. Aft batteries not working. Compressor not working, etc... So I grabbed the men out of the aft and foward torpedo rooms to assist in repairs and assigned them to what I thought was repairing the forward batteries which was the only thing keeping me going at the time. However I do not see any progress being made and there is no time limit to show how long the repairs should take. Am I doing something wrong? Are any repairs even being done? What is the proper proceedure for conducting damage? The manual is a little vague.
