I'm not sure that these are test depths, I think they are too high on the S-Class as well as the other early war boats.

Can anyone compare them with the SH1 depths?

Whatever they are, the readme describes them as

Quote:
Each submarine has a test depth beyong the captain should only venture in crisis situation.

S Class - Test Depth - 60 m
Pourpoise - Test Depth - 75 m
Salmon Class - Test Depth - 75 m
Sargo Class - Test Depth - 75 m
Tambor Class - Test Depth - 75 m
Gar Class - Test Depth - 75 m
Gato Class - Test Depth - 90 m
Balao Class - Test Depth - 120 m

Going deeper than this values always presents a risk.

Note that when you have a damaged hull, the depth limit for the submarine changes. The more damaged the submarine hull is, the less depth is the pressure hull capable of handling.
