Damage control priority?

Thank you for the advice.

1) Which icon represents which value? I assume the "pump" icon on the left is the time left to stop to leak, while the rather ominous looking one on the right is the time left.

2) I had forgotten that crew in the compartment help with repairs, though it obviously makes sense. I normally have two repair qualified officers and two-three repair qualified petty officers; the extra repair qualified officer can be deployed accordingly.

3) "You can't make repairs in silent running" got drilled into my head many, many patrols ago, but it's always worth repeating. I always make attacks under silent running, with at least a skeleton repair crew already in place. It is very easy to forget to secure from silent running in those first seconds of taking damage.
