I would find myself grateful that i had plenty of compressed air left, even after the volume consumed by firing 6 torpedos in a submerged attack. After all, if i didn't have compressed air to clear the water, i woudlnt be surfacing at all!

Finally, upon surfacing, i could hear the low pressure blowers pushing the rest of the water out of the ballast tanks, and somewhere below a compressor is running to refill the high pressure air flasks. Gotta keep those topped off at all times. I then order the starboard engine taken off the propulsion and put on battery charge because the port engine is damaged and not running to capacity, and right now, with lots of planes in the area, i need the fastest recharge possible right now in case i have to dive again. After all, no battery, means no forward momentum over the dive planes, which means poor depth control.

Ahh, dream a little dream. Thats the kind of detail, we probably won't ever see. I sure hope that soup is tasty.

You got me dreaming for a moment
