Hi there- I was curious about this subject after navigating around Oahu submerged, and was surprised at the battery life on a P-class ship. I did a search and found this thread, but I think I'd like to know a little more on the subject.

In the course of a typical day, what might be the standard speed for submerged day-long duties? 1/3rd or 2/3rds? I am thinking Ahead Standard must be for surface use under normal circumstances. I am also thinking that one can't really go as fast submerged just anticipating that they will be able to come up to recharge at dusk when they need to; that energy management must seem to dictate such prudence as to have SPARE juice if you need it, and not 'just enough.'

I would like to start out right by learning energy management as correctly as possible. I was interested as to what a sim like SH4 could teach me about historical delimmas of real Captains, and not the game aspect so much.

Any help or thoughts aprecciated-

Thanks
