Dealing with damage/flooding

Hello all. I recently attempted to attack Scapa Flow in the middle of the night (May of '40). I was spotted by search light almost immediately after my Watch reported a ship sighting. Crash dived, was fired upon, incurred severe damage. I think the Navigator was kind enough to let me know I was in shallow waters, so I quickly clicked the depth to 10 meters as opposed to 70...
I assigned a damage control team but it didn't seem to do any good. 2 compartments were flooding and there was a little grey "X" with a timer counting down to zero in both of them. The manual does not give any specifics about how long it takes to repair damage.
I was wondering if there is any real point to try to repair flooding? I ended up losing the ship with all hands as soon as the first compartment completely flooded (and my repair team assigned to it drowned as well...)
