I've talked to quite a few sub vets and I do know one thing: None of them would want to be on your boat
. Test depth for a Balao was 400 feet. They'd go 500 when things were
extremely difficult--as in being held under for hours and getting desperate.
Just because a subs theoretical crush depth is X feet doesn't mean the crew wants to go to X-10.
