Damaged Sub Fully Repaired then Sinks Like a Stone

What do you mean by "adjusted depth"? If you've taken hull damage, it is never repaired in the field. So if you went deeper, it's quite possible you passed the new threshold of how much pressure the damaged sub can take, and imploded.

Yes,any time I have taken hull damages,I am very careful on how deep I will go until I've been back to a base for proper repairs.

When the DC encounter began I was at 120 feet and slowly sank to 140 from taking damage. The crew went to work and while fixing things the sub sank to 150 and I got the thermal layer message so I stayed there running a 1/3 until all repairs were complete. When they were done the hull meter read 66.

Once the destroyers backed off, I ordered periscope depth and as soon as I crossed the thermal layer, they started pinging and turned around towards me. So I ordered a depth of 140 and the sub just kept on diving. Even emergency surface was useless.

Usual repair items on a sub:

Not that great at 150 feet. Anyway, I believe you will slowly loose hit points on the sub the longer you stay submerged deep. If your hull is at 66% you are in big trouble. I recommend no more then 100 feet and run like hell. Forget silent running. Your number is up at the moment. Have the men keep repairing and flank speed with lots of twisting and turning. Good Luck!

Let's see here...66% of your hull integrity is gone, and you expect your sub to float like it would if it had no damage? Sorry, that's not the way things work. :rotfl:
