Question 1- no, this has to do with the way the game is coded. And unless there's something wrong with the hull, it shouldn't. There was a considerable safety margin built into the test depth numbers.

Question 2- they do

On a side note, I found that the boats have a setting in the zone file for crush depth. So will start playing with that number and see what happens between it and the test depth setting.

The Balao has a crush depth rating of 787 ft in the zone file. Depending on what the results are, there may be more changes in this area.
