With RFB Crash Dive to Periscope Depth was 37 seconds. I'm getting about 50 seconds.

Are you starting with decks awash at 45 feet?
The best I have done so far, in a Balao class, from the surface at 10 knots. I order the crash dive and start the stop watch at the same instant. When passing 29 to 34 feet, order periscope depth and engines to 1/3. I was at a stable 60 feet in 64 seconds. I was still making 9 knots though. Slowing to 4 knots would take additional time. I suppose one could order all back emergency to slow down instead of ahead 1/3.
