My conclusion is in real life you would need a depth chart, in the game you don't.
As long as they can't hear it in the game than that solves my problem. Up until now I have been leery about sending out a ping to the ocean bottom while in the vicinity of any warships. Nothing worse than doing a crash dive and slamming into the seabed at 200 feet. But hey if works than no need.

I started searching the web for nautical charts for specific bodies of water and Alt+Tab to them during game to somewhat plan for my patrols. Helped out a lot in the mostly shallow Yellow Sea.
I do however like the idea of ALT+TAB and looking at a true life nautical chart of the area I'm in and then do some sounding and see how accurate the game is.
