I just checked my depth gauge for S-Boats (S-18 class and S-42) by running one War Patrol and one Single Mission. Both showed the 'Red Line' at 196'. If yours is indeed showing 450', then there is something defiantly wrong with your display.
I looked into some of the files in the game for references to the Depth Gauges, and found:
From: Data/Menu/cfg/Dials.cfg
[Dial24]
; will be changed by code
Name=DeepDepthFdbk
Type=75; DIAL_DEPTH_INTERNATIONAL
Cmd=Set_depth_dial_international,Crew
Dial=0x3F1F0001
CrtVal=0x3F1F0002
NewVal=0x3F1F0003
DialVal=-150,150; -163,163
RealVal=15,165; 0,450; meters (sh3) -> feet (sh4)
Circular=Yes
There are references to Instruments (Equipment 3 to 7), but I don't know what they are referring to, and can't find any link to anything like NSS_Instrument anywhere else.
From: Data/Submarine/NSS_s18/NSS_S18.eqp
[Equipment 3]
NodeName=I01
LinkName=NSS_Instrument01
StartDate=19240403
EndDate=19451029
The program may have confused the Depth Gauges between the S-Boats and the Balao class boats (Test Depth = 400').
