S-class's crush depth....

Well if any of you S-Boat lovers wanna know how much you can take her down to in TMO 2.5 you can safely go down to 250ft anywhere past that your dead.

Should I ask how you found out?

Ummmmm... I started out a career just for testing TMO 2.5 and I wanted to try it out so I went to that deep spot in Brisbane went down to 250ft went down a little more then Hull damaged, Compressor damaged etc.

Don't feel bad. Before I got SH 4, I toyed around with SH 3. I had a tragically short career in a type II u-boat. I took it under for a test dive at some nice deep spot, like you did. My thinking was that since I could go a lot deeper in SH 1, than the test depth, I should be able to do the same in a type II. I figured there was little danger because surely there would be lots of warning signs of impending hull failure........ Well, turns out not so much. The last thing me and my happless crew were aware of were lights going out and circuits shorting.

Hmm, are you sure you didn't have a little hull damage already? I just evaded some DDs and took my S-Boat (TMO 2.5) down to 256 feet with no ill effects.
