Ship Health Bars

indeed they are more annoying than actually helpfull in any way, i was just curious as to the relevance of them.

As for the blue bar, potentially indicating flooding, it never seems to actually change over time after a torpedo strike. One would assume that after the initial impact and structural damage to the ship, it would take on water up to a point where the bulkheads stopped it or the ship sank. Having a static blue bar indicating no additional flooding seems retarded, surely it is possible to sink a ship with one torpedo due to flooding.
