Passing thermal layers

Ok, this is something I'd classify as an annoyance rather than a show stopper. Yesterday I was fooling around with the training missions and I decided to take my boat (USS Permit, from the torp attack mission) down to test depth.
At about 150' someone called out that we were passing the thermal layer. However it was only a verbal cue, and no such text appeared in the text box at the top centre of the screen. This is not good, since if you miss the verbal cue there seems to be no other way of telling whether you're above or under the layer. In SH1 we had a gauge.

Am I missing a gauge or something here or is it really verbal only?
