I believe the navigators had maps which showed known depth to begin with (right?), but all we have in the game as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong) are shaded areas that more or less indicate shallow waters versus deeper ones, but doesn't show any numbers on the depth there.
Maybe a new command could be added so the navigator could just print the max possible depth in the message box (not the limit of the sub, but the actual known depth at your location)?

This is a good idea. I'd have to add a new command to the game (have already done this many times) for this. I know how to get max depth for location in the sh5.exe...it's doable
After initiating the command I'd have it write max depth at location is x (rounding the value to nearest tens).
Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the depth under keel command? I mean this would be a cheat instead of using the depth under keel command and possibly giving your position away.
