Webster, not to be offensive or anything, but we're not talking about opinion. We are talking about actual practice as verified by the people who actually ran the submarines.

not offended at all but not everyone is an experienced sub mariner so opinions do happen lol.
all i was trying to point out is, since it is near impossible to get absolute true neutral boyancy without some margin of error, so this "small" margin of error was IMO (theres that dirty word again) going to be on the negative boyancy side of neutral.
what they called neutral boyancy really wasnt, it was just as close as you could get within the small margin of error.
EDIT: i have reversed my position on this subject, i now believe any margin of error was on the positive boyancy side to allow survival in case of loss of power. i failed to consider this before.
