Yeah, I remember someone created a cavitation chart for SC. From my experience with SC the shallower you were the more prone you were to cavitating at a higher speed. Go deeper and you can go faster without cavitating. You could creat your own table for DW by simple trial and error. Test at what speed your sub starts to cavitate whilst on the surface. I suspect 7-9 knots. Test also at periscope depth and so on.
Oberon, I much prefer your little Type II boat sig than the spam one.
