I haven't actually tested that, but I would imagine it's just below the boat specific snorkel depth property. For me, I run a heavily modded VIIB, so I set my snorkel depth to 7.8 meters which allows a handy one button control to move to decks awash.

the ship will run on electrics at snorkel depth unless the snorkel is raised(if the boat has one at all).

Not if you mod the snorkel depth to a lower setting (on a boat that doesn't have one equipped). That way you can run on diesels with just the turm exposed.

German for turret. It's the conning tower/sail.

It looks like this:



Running diesels all the way!

P.S. I took this at dawn so it'd be easier to see. At night the 'stealth factor' is much greater.
