I thought about this on my way to my tent on my vacation after an enormous amount of alchohol. I WAS drunk but the question is seems more than reasonable to me:

So, in a given situation in the game when you're on your boat,
at any time your navigator can provide you with the exact depth for the exact location. I imagine that scripting depth for each meter of the whole map is a bit hard so the game must do something on-the-spot to calculate the depth.

And here's where the question comes in: Why doesnt the same mechanism work on destroyers aswell? Cause as far as i know the DD's sonar doesnt know of sea bed nor sunken ships and it can track you no mater how close to the sea bed you are. That makes playing dead impossible...
