The first requirement for a personnel equipped vessel designed for use in or under the water.....

So how long would it take to sink, she's letting in about 200lts a hour.

Litres?

...if it's not in Gallons, its a foreign language to me, Rich.... ....!

Whatever it is.... it's leaking... ....!

Not too much difference on the smaller scale, there being 67.6 ounces in a two liter bottle and two quarts is 64 ounces. The 67.6/64 ratio equivalates 200 liters to 211¼ gallons.
This is a British ruse, is it not -- disguising as an aircraft carrier what will be the world's largest submarine?

Fluid Ounces (milk), rather than the more solid Avoirdupois Ounces (potatoes).

...And we have the French "Litres", (r before e), rather than the American "Liters".

"Liter" is an object that is filled with Petrol and a Wick, and uses a Serrated Wheel and a Flint, to set alight to a Cigarette.

Christopher Columbus was a great advocate of setting alight to stuff called Tobacco!

Queen Victoria was a great advocate of all things; "Imperial".

(Queen Victoria taught me at School).

We don't keep our potatoes in a bottle -- even mashed, as difficult to get them back out as to get them in -- and an American 2 liter bottle was handy whereas I have no French bottles.

Right after hours of exacting research, well 5 mins on google, I found this

HMS Queen Elizabeth's bilge system can hold 83,000 litres of water, a quantity which would take 17 days to fill under the current rate of the leak, even if none of it were drained. So keep the bilge pumps going.

An Imperial gallon has 128 oz. in it and a liter has 33.8 oz. which works out to 1 gal = 3.7 liters. So 200 liters an hour is 52.8 gal per hour. I cheated and used a converter

That is correct, I rather inverted the ratio. Thus 200 liters = @ 6760 ounces; 6720/128 = 52.8125 (@ gal.)
...not quite as dire a situation.
