Which is why it is always smart to know your depth under keel at all times.

Actually, if you are any place you can't crash dive safely, you should not be happy or complacent.

Exactly, which is why you should get in the habit of checking your depth just prior to any anticipated engagement. 'Tis a golden rule that should never be neglected.

I'd rather it was never 'forgotten'

If you are on patrol in August 1939 (before the war starts) the Channel is fine.

Once Britain and France declare war, you enter it at your own risk. It's narrow, it's shallow, and it puts you within easy striking distance of the combined sea/air forces of two enemy nations. It's not impossible to get through, but if you get spotted and run into trouble you're not going to have very many options.
