I posted its website a few months back but thought I'd post the procedure page as it's very interesting.

Under the Diving Procedures it states in emergency conditions, while underway, it could dive to a depth of 65 feet in 40 seconds.
Additionally, and I never thought of this, with each torp weighing in at 1 ton it could cause some real trim problems when they were fired. To alleviate this there were water tanks on board used as ballast and to fill the tubes. Then once the outer door was closed, the empty tube water was pumped back into the tanks to maintain weight. Ingeneous.

The USS Cod (Gato Class) is permanently moored in Cleveland, Ohio as a museum and is a great tour. I'm going to give my Photoshop skills a go and try and create a USS Cod skin for the Gatos

40 second to dive? I guess the ingame dive times are not so bad then. I will have to time some of my subs and see what I get.
