My first real damage

Yes, there are hints in the game (like the mouseover when you hover on the Silent Running button) to lead you to belive no repairs are done in SR. I have tested this not to be true. Given enough time, even major damage like bulkhead leaks get repaired if the crew are at BS and the DC is activated. I also see individual small items getting repaired slowly. If you have major damage it's not a good idea to stay at SR too long.

Of course most people know "silent" is not SILENT. People and machines continue to make a lot of noise no matter what. All silent running means in a submarine is people are doing everything possible to prevent un-necessary noise. SR with damage control means the crew has cloth wrapped around the wrenches and are not banging on stuff.
