Keeping their speed up should allow them to plane up to a shallower depth with residual speed and propulsion power, up to a depth where the MBTs become effective again.

True, but they'll also try not to go too fast, as a jam dive at test depth at 35 knots is going to send the boat through crush depth in an instant

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something

Rapture.
