* Ping *
Depth under keel is XXX meters.
Max possible depth is XXX meters.

That would work and wouldn't change any of the current detection mechanic (or bypass it). You'd still have to be careful using it like you said.

EDIT: LOL, looks like our thought process was the same here... you were just quicker suggesting it.
That's a great idea of modifying the depth under keel command's return value and easy to make a patch for
