Because that's the way they went in and out of harbor, which is not so important, but it's also the way they conducted night surfaced attacks, because it's so much quieter. Also, running decks-awash was done on electrics. Thirdly, you should be able to have the diesels damaged, and if both are under repair you might want to go somewhere while they're under repair, albeit very slowly.
