This info must be pretty much redundant as very few subs to my understanding can submerge 200 meters (600+ ft.), or 300 meters (900+ ft) in late war.
Is this a typo and the depth is really measured in feet and not meters?!?  |
Those are SH3 measurements. Then, you have to consider thermal layer, weather etc.. and learn the skills of your opponents.
To my experience(with TMO2 + RSRDC), escorts in early war can be avoided by calm sea just below thermal layer while in late war any depth is not safe if you're making noise.
Of course, with a storm on your side you can stay at periscope depth almost any time of the war. With a safe distance between you and them they are as deaf as Mick Jagger.
