How deep do i have to go for not be spotted by planes and also my understanding of the radar waring reciver is that i have way time to countermeasure when radar signals are detected and not get "made" on the first glimpse.

Another thing is the submerging times of the XXI and XXIII boats.
I recently read that the main leap in submarine technologie with these boats was their ability/purpose to travel large amount of times submerged (up to 3 day with batteries on 5 knots) but i cant do this in OM even if the batteries whould hold on this long time the CO˛ levels prevent it.
Shouldn´t the snorchel also take care pf the CO˛ levels?

I don´t want to tick somebody off, just asking!



PBY5A are equipped with "MAD"
