Yes, not running the diesels at flank speed, unless in an emergency, is the best thing one can do.

Yes, historically, the Uboat diesel engines were not very reliable.

Salute, All !!!


I only go flank speed surfaced if I am being chased by a FLOWER class corvette in heavy seas at night. You can slowly outrun him, but you will need to give the diesels a rest every few minutes or you will damage them.
