Watertight Compartments

Watertight Compartments is a form of Technology and Culture.

Description
If watertight tranverse bulkheads are placed across a ships hull, it is divided into multiple compartments. If one compartment is holed or leaks the ship will not sink, and the water from leaks can be more easily pumped out. Providing pluggable holes between compartments allows water to be drained from one to the other, improving ship balance, and further facilitating pumping.

Effects

 * Increases the amount of damage that ships can sustain by 40%
