You get the value of water only for the small central tank. For main air 
tanks, just do like submariners : use your watch !
When the air floods outside, I represented it, which is not what you get 
in reality (only other ships see you bubbling).
Of course, you noticed you can refill battery and air when surfaced.
When my kids use it, I explain how things work. This may be easier for 
me because I am a former (attack) submariner :-)
I tried to make something close to the reality, and to show what can be 
done as simulation boards.
This made me hate a bit more all the gnome libs, which really are far 
behind Qt.

The icon seems to be already commited (it is attached to this mail), but 
submarine.xml.in was also and I get an error :
cvs -f add 'boards/submarine.xml.in' 2>&1
cvs server: boards/submarine.xml.in added independently by second party

So I attached it to this mail. Bruno, can you commit it ?

I am short of time at the moment to do all what I'd like to. So I am a 
bit far from gcompris right now.
