Very useful during some operations.

Surfacing through the ice.
Jump 50

and so on...

The 637 class had a normal blow system which blew the MBT's from air bank five only.

During normal evolutions sure, but we're not surfacing at the North Pole here. How would it be useful in a tactical situation?

In the approach to a target, not very useful.
But in some scenarios trying to infiltrate someplace, a Jump50 would save you from grounding and damaging your ship. You are just risking an air transient.

In the game, not very useful...

Tell the Quartermaster to wake up if you're in danger on grounding.
