Default Where is the main induction valve?

Hmm - for those interested - the Houston was MUCH worse than I even knew...

This reads like a horror story:

TheGeoff, please make sure the main induction valve can still fail, so we can have some hilarious endings to our games when we fail to notice it's broken.

Done -the main induction valve will now shut automatically when water reaches the top of the sail to prevent flooding, but it is occasionally possible for the detection mechanism to fail. I've also added 'boom' sound effects for opening and closing the valve, hopefully they sound close to the real thing.

Terrifying stuff... that's one unlucky ship. No wonder it ended up with such a reputation.

Yea, I was a plank-owner on the Jacksonville and I think they were in the running with us for the unluckiest LA class. I was the lookout for our first collision and I think she is up to 4 or 5 of them now. Amazed she is still in the fleet. Not for long though I am sure.
