Re: Great post

Sea water inside a sub (where the batteries are) was never a good thing thus they tried to make sure the battery area was always dry. There were times where the sub had to an emergence surface because of the water leakage. Sometimes they got lucky, mostly not so much. Very early on, they had a canary (much like coal miners) to help keep an eye on things.
