The russians use operational depth and crush depth, for the akula's operational depth is 1,800 feet but they are rated down at a crush of 2,200 feet (newer akulas)

The Vic III at one time was rated to 2,000 feet right now because of thier age they are limited to just 1,400 feet.

I dont know fully but they do the maths first they have never explained it to me fully, and my stepfather doesnt know either.

I think they give it a margin ie well this is what we think it can go down to then test it on a model then if it does do what they think they give it a saftey margin of xxx meters
