I just saw this post, and noticed the lack of answers, so I'll give it a try. By S-100, I am assuming that this is a submarine? I honestly cannot tell you about WWII boats, but more modern boats have a single outlet (Main Drain system), and all bilges are pumped into several holding tanks, then the tanks are emptied (pumped) from the ship via the main drain system. WWII boats may have similar setups, but I have never researched this.

Hi David,
Many thanks for the reply, but yes as Christian has said it was an S-boot that I was looking for not a submarine.
