If the radio room is under water and that sonofabitch is still scanning and transmitting, don't abandon ship: pour him a nice brandy!

How many ships sink without turning turtle?

I can think of only one. The Titanic.

I believe the ship’s engineers invented counter-flooding on the spot to kept the ship level enough to launch the lifeboats from their davits.

As a result over 700 passengers survived. The engineers didn’t.

If you don’t understand that, you aren’t an engineer. Or a radioman...
