Check out "Rising Tide" by Gary Weir and Walter Boyne. It is all about the Cold war Soviet boats. they spent a lot of time with many of the former soviet sub skippers to produce the book. Much of the soviet tactics they discussed are accurate, so i see no reason why one would exaggerate the test depth of a titanium alloy hull boat? If anything, I would think they would want to underestimate it, because then any adversary would not attempt to make a torpedo acheive those depths. In war time if need be our test depth was lifted from 1300 feet to 1900 feet and that is with HY-80. There is no reason to think that an alpha could not do 3000 feet. We all are entitled to our opinion and i respect yours.
