The Red line is the submarine's Test Depth. The Test Depth is designed to be the maximum safe depth for subs to operate in during normal (i.e. peacetime) operations. The sub can dive deeper than the test depth, and it sometimes can be a handy tool for espcaping escorts and DD's. One word of caution, as you take damage to your boat, the crush depth decreases in depth, so dive lower than the test depth at your own will at that point.
Ducimus has all of the mathematical equations, and if you search Test Depth, you'll find his explaniation.
