My first patrol: what am I doing wrong?

Q1, I've done the same thing when ending a patrol, frantically hitting the backspace key to stop time acceleration while the program ignores the keyboard and runs the sub aground. I've learned to add a "buttonhook" to the end of the course line, a short sharp turn away from the land into open sea.

Q2, not in the stock game - US subs didn't have snorkels until the post WWII Guppy class. I use snorkel depth for "decks awash" instead.
