Holy crap! I can almost see the sweat trickling down your crewman's face as he looks at the dive guage.
But hey ... I didn't know you could blow the ballast more than once! I thought if you blew it, it was, you know ... blown.
Did doing it more than once really help, you think?

If you blow ballast more than once, the boat will surface more quickly. I donĀ“t know if it really helps in situation like this.
I was so panicked when the depth gauge was on 220 that I banged my keyboard to find the 'E' button and almost yelled to the boat to rise!
We almost surfaced in the middle of the destroyers (there where 2 of them), because the boat was rising so fast.
