So for the record then, 900m = approx 3000ft. If that was their crush depth then the surely could hang around at say 800m without any ill effects?
I understand the reators were awful (liquid metal cooled?) and this plus the massive cost of producing them lead to the early retirement of the class..
As for the speed i never doubted that, just had always read the depth at what these things were supposed to operate at was a myth created on the whole by Clancey and bad intelligence.
Now it seems that they were right all along....or am i missing something?
