In a way the SH3 way to stop flooding is very German: the crew doesn´t do anything unless someone gives an order ;-) And how does an American skipper stop flooding? He doesn´t. He gets a lawyer and sues the guys who built the sub. LOL AS

Sadly enough, that is pretty much the truth.

Yeah. Although Germans do not any longer care much for orders these days (which is a good thing considering what happened in the third Reich) they love making things as complex and complicated as can be. Lots of discussion before stopping any flooding nowadays... Cheers, AS

Actually, flooding if it is controlled by Democrates:

1. Get a board together to investigate the flooding ( takes 6-8 months)
2. Make a 16000 page disertation on the flooding and the boards recommendations.
3. Apply for and authorize fund appropriations (another 6-8 months)
4. Contact an environmental group to make sure correcting the flooding is OK for the environment and will not impact the migration of the blue whale or sea otters reproduction cycle.
5. Contact the Department of Labor and make sure there is equal representations from all walks of life that will handle the flooding. (another 6-8 months)
6. Take 6-8 months to make sure all personel are prepared and trained properly. Materials are appropriated
7. Take care of the flooding.
8. Take 6-8 months after controlling the flooding for study as to impact of environment and crew.
