hello Community

Finally, after umpty-third try, I succeeded in completing the first single mission without getting drownded or having to wait to see if my crippled victim would eventually succumb, so good, but I can see there is a lot to understand yet.
I have just tried to access the community manual, but the server was not found - temporarily I am sure - and the next thread I tried was on how to sink a ship, and that quickly got too techy for me, so here I am, just to ask small guidance on a couple of things, nothing very involved ( how do you eat an elephant sandwhich? - one bite at a time!).

Fustly, what are the hydrophones and how do I use them? Nothing seems to happen on 'normal sweep'.

Second, I always rig for silent running when trying to sneak past the destroyers - is that right and does it mean I am made slower?

Third, why is it that, although I assign a full complement of crew members to damage control, with an officer and some expert folk included, they do not seem to DO anything when I click on a damaged compartment. Once I saw a red wrench animation signifying repairs were taking place, and a time measurement, but I don't know how I got that, or when - or how to get it again...

many thank you's for your help
