RR points out in the other thread that Archerfish did tests and found they could dive at 25 degrees down bubble, no problem vs the 10 degrees used universally during the war.

So the fleet could have crash dived considerably fast with no more change than a differently trained skipper giving the orders. What was a u-boat crash dive angle?
