What was the test depth? Its early and i havent had coffee yet. Im just curious is all.
I was just looking at a book on the history of submarines from the 1600s to the present, and they had this to say about the Balao class: Test depth was 400 feet, and calculated crush depth 900 feet.

Further than that I can't say; but I agree in thinking that in the game they ought to be in some kind of feet!
