Frank,
The deal was on that was that the bilge pump that was in the compartment that
was flooded was not working. I think because of the batteries got
flooded. Anyway, the other bilge pump, which was working, was on the other
end of the sub. So they had to get the water over to that one so it could
be pumped out to the sea. They had to use buckets to physically move the water
by hand. As long as you have a positive displacement pump (like with a
piston) you can pump the water out. Providing of course you can generate
more pressure than the outside seawater pressure.
