How to remove the ship's status bar ?

I continued my answer by offering a possible solution to your problem. You need to check UI settings either with UI editor or by opening the rlevant files in notepad. Once you find where that bar is scripted, you will also know the texture files it uses. Much easier doing that than digging in the texture folder for a texture which is probably 4x4 bitmap with no resemblance with the bar itself. I also said that the same texture is probably used by several UI items, so removing it or making it transparent might not be the solution. If you found the bar within UI scripts, it would be safer reassigning a trasparent custom texture used only by that bar, or removing completely the bar from scripts

MercI. Very kind of you, but it's hopeless - I don't know how I managed to lower the heads of periscopes (Mod VIIB and C) - I left a message in the Ubisoft forum ... bottle in the sea

Why hopeless? Unfortunately I have not the game installed at present, so I can't direct you, but understanding UI files is all but impossible. If you are interested, I can point you to some tutorial. They apply to SHIV, but they are still valid for SH5

1) In the folder "Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg" :
GameplaySettings.cfg
NoShipHealthBar= true (for all the different campaign levels)

And special pleasure:
2) To the nettles the file : HPBar.cfg
