Help, I am leaking

Yes the spraying is a visual 'clue' that you have some sort of hull integrity breach. Note that this damage in not 'displayed' any where else :hmm:

This damage cannot be repaired at a tender let alone at sea.

Only way to stop it is to return to base.

But dont let it sway your determination, just use good judgement and dont stress the hull to much. How much is too much, well if you suddenly start taking on water and sinking out of control... that was too much.

I have a crew out now that has had the spraying going on a week now. They are slowly making their way to base but taking on targets of oppurtinity along the way diving often to avoid aircaft.

It just lets you know that you have reached the part of the patrol when the men get seperated from the boys.

Sorry, that was poor humor. I usually start thinking about heading home when the boat get to a-leaking.
