Sorry sailor, you are absolutely right. As they said it i presume it was in feet, but thought, being german, meters. But its been a while. *glug*
I do recall in Walkers book, Walker RN that the U202 'went deep sir' - but unaccountable depth. They recognised the fact that their charges would not go that deep. Instead Walker said, we wait, he must come up at 0002 hrs; and he did! Shelled and sunk. Walker was an expert in ASW even when it was unfashionable.
