Donut, cool bouys!

BTW, "5" is possible, there is a max depth to fire setting in each sub cfg someplace, we had a thread about sonar attacks.

~150' should be possible, I found 2 references for that number. One was a deep diving sub that was DCed at ~300ft. She was damaged to the point a fish started running hot in the tube and they needed to come up---even with escorts above---to 150' to be able to try and get the fish out cause 300 was too deep. Another was a reference (both in Silent Victory) to the fact that Cuties torpedos were required (by the Navy manual for them) to be fired from at least 150' deep to help protect the boat from being homed on by its own fish!
