Misc gameplay questions

I've been playing for a bit, and have some Qs

1. How to get ahead of the beam (get the ship perpendicular to me)? I frequently have a ship's arse staring at my which makes targeting difficult.

2. Is it normal to travel 9 knots at flank speed underwater or am I doing something wrong?

3. I got diesel engine damage (the bar is all the way up) but it won't appear in the damage priority area. Can that get fixed on the ship? I assign the repair crew, but nothing happens. Do I need to return to a refit base to get it fixed?

4. Is there a way to return the repair crew back to their stations automatically?

5. I once pressed a button that has me follow the nearest ship. What is that and how can I use it for other ships (often I want to follow the merchant and NOT the nearby escort!)?

TIA!!
