Yes.

About the aircraft: The aircraft in RFB can see you at considerable depth and you can take damage from bombs/DCs even at 200 ft.; 40 ft. isn't safe by a long shot.

Did your crew eliminate all the damage on the board, or only part?

If you have flooding, it is a sure indication you've had significant damage. A submarine is not a heavy cruiser. In RL, most subs that have a significant damage event would likely terminate their patrol. The game is more generous, but the RFB design philosophy was to make things realistic.
