15s? Not in a type VII IIRC. Well, the ballast tanks are partly filled with water, everything is prepared for a dive. I don“t know if the dive time is 100% realistic, but to me it makes sense.
Question for you....

Wouldn't the increased weight (ballast tanks partly flooded) reduce your overall surface speed while travelling with decks awash?
