Hello all,
Were there critical components external to the pressure hull that were definitely fatal to the u-boat if damaged in a D/C attack? I\'ve read about ruptured ballast tanks, fuel oil tanks, etc., but was there any single, external component that was vital to get a u-boat on the surface again?
Thanks, as always,
