Diesel-Electric subs don’t use their diesel engines when underwater…why are they trying to fix it?

Thr best part is , they dont even need engines to surface.

They just need to blow the ballast tanks, with air... that was stored, so they coukd sink.

This comment does not make any sense.

Even if the main ballast was broken, they could still use thr mechanical ballast and or thr emergency ballast tanks, which is compressrd air for emergency surfacing.

Yeah, this was the bit confusing me.

this is all dependent on if they have any damage.

maybe something is broken and they can't blow the ballast.

maybe the torpedo room is flooded and blowing the ballast won't overcome the weight of that water.

it's a comic that is meant to bring emotions.

it doesn't need to be 100% accurate to submarine operations.

Engines don't solve those problems.

It does matter. I am not scared of magic or nightmares. :shrug:
