English term or phrase: watertight hatches
zasto su Japanci iznenadili Amere u Perl Harburu:

The Navy was unprepared; the gunners weren't trained; the ammunition wasn't readily available; damage control was never available; watertight hatches were never closed... It was complete pandemonium.

disagree  Ljiljana Malovic: ne bih rekla da se radi o ostecenim brodovima: watertight hatches were never closed. Tokom napada su gadjani 'citavi' brodovi, a ne osteceni; Hermeticki = completely airtight (ovdje je watertight)
2 hrs
  -> Sigurno da se ne radi o ostecenim brodovima. Watertight hatches su obicna vrata koja se mogu hermeticki zatvoriti i odolijevati pritisku i to je standardna izvedba na svim ratnim brodovima (a i djelomicno na civilnim).

vodootporni otvori u palubi broda


Explanation:
Hatch = an opening in a ship's deck for lowering cargo into the hold.
(otvor u palubi broda, dakle)

Posto se za rucni sat (npr.) kaze da je vodootporan (watertight) onda mislim da bi to i ovdje moglo da se kombinuje.

Vodootporni - otporni na vodu, ne propustaju vodu

vodootporna grotla


Explanation:
mislim da je grotlo najblizi izraz za hatch, posebno kad se radi o brodovima i podmornicama.
