This happened after reduce thickness of hull for obtainment of easiest weight of about 600-800t. This was necessary for mount new propulsion wchich was very big and heavy.
My question is: why in patches or LWAMI mods the true depth for LA is still more than 1500ft (460m) ?

The book isn't considered that accurate, and much of it wasn't even written by Clancy allegedly. Certainly, a lot of his 'suggestions' about the Trafalgar are now understood to be wrong. I'd imagine the same is true of the LA boat.
