Keep in mind that "test depth" is deceiving. The builders design them to withstand a certain pressure for a set amount of time, yet many Kriegsmarine Uboat captains in the Atlantic reported exceeding even the estimated crush depth of their submarines on several occasions without the pressure hulls failing while evading depth charges from overhead destroyers. The true combat diving capabilities of all military subs in service is absolutely classified. Who in their right mind would develop something that is supposed to be a step ahead of their rivals and then make that information public? Nobody.

Many Kriegsmarine captains also were crushed by the deep waters, so they had no chance to report anything. It always depends on condition of the hull. Sometimes it survived few deep dives and then it failed surprisingly during next attempt.

All true. Test depth is merely the maximum depth a submarine can operate safely ALL THE TIME, assuming the pressure hull, hull valves and anything else that communicates with the surrounding water was not damaged in some way. A submarine can go much deeper than it's rated test depth, but skippers for obvious reasons do not do that lightly. In combat though they take risks that they would not take in peacetime, even though submarines in general always operate on a war footing. One only see photos of the mangled wreckage of the U.S.S Thresher and Scorpion to see the fate that awaits any submarine that falls below collapse depth. U-boats during WW-2 were built to operate to about 500 feet, but descended to 1,000 feet to evade co-ordinated depth charge attacks from a hunter-killer group above. A depth charge exploding near the hull was always fatal.

I’ve a BS in Chemistry 🧪. Knowing how hard Titanium is to work with - I’m impressed The Russkies were able to build an entire sub from the Element. It also has the advantage of being non-magnetic - making MAD detection almost impossible. The Akula Class also used a Liquid Sodium Cooled Reactor. This is great for achieving a compact reactor. However - Sodium reacts vigorously with water - even more so in a molten state. You’re trying to keep absolutely all water out - when you’re totally surrounded by it. The US has a hard time working with Titanium. When building The SR-71 - it was found even the trace amount of cadmium left behind by cadmium plated wrenches would cause bolts to fail. Tracing lines with Pentel Markers would leave behind trace amounts of ink - that sometimes had components that could cause welds to fail. Welds washed off with water during the summer tended to fail more often than those in winter - which had to do with amount of Chlorine in the water. So they switched to distilled water to rinse off parts.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) -----------

Maximum test, and crush depths are always classified. They may not even be revealed to the captains, or XOs as a matter of protocol. All classified operating documentation will probably only identify operating parameters that can be fully guaranteed by the builder. Given engineering safety factors, the ultimate limits may only be known by very few engineers, scientists, and senior naval staff. The most probable points of rupture would likely be at welded joints, hatch interfaces, and anywhere external objects need to penetrate the pressure hull; such as periscopes, and power transmission shafts.

Yes, crush depth. Test depth is the maximum safe tested depth. Exact crush depth is a bit of an unknown. It's predicted based on calculations, but it's impossible to prove without, ya know, CRUSHING IT. And at close to crush depth, even small condition changes could result in the sub sustaining damage or crushing. Crush depth is usually another 30-50% deeper than test depth. In war, a sub commander could decide to go deeper than test depth to get away from hostiles, at increased risk of damage or crush.

As an example, if the test depth of a Sub is 600 meters (~ 2000 ft), its crush depth is 900 meters (~ 3000 ft) if the Submarine is American.

It amazes me how a naval vessel as large as this can ever be considered “silent”.

Once on station they move fairly slowly. Cavitation on the propeller would give away their position so the propeller turns very slowly. Most nuclear subs operate below the thermocline which varies depending on the location in the oceans.

The Chinese one I absolutely don't believe. They are a good two decades behind in noise abatement. Electric subs are very quiet ambush predators, they turn their diesel engines off. The nuclear subs are pretty damn quiet going 30+ knots if they are deep enough to avoid cavitation - but they will never be as quiet as a diesel electric.

Nothing about it is estimated or speculative, they are painstakingly monitored and tracked.

Unfortunately they found out the hard way the 688I were just as fast and could dive almost as deep but much quieter. Many minor collisions occurred because of close encounters with the Russian boats and boomers by accident. Simply because the Russian Captains didn’t know the American boats were there.

Well like many here have been saying, information about how deep a sub can dive is highly classified information and nobody except those that are suppose to know, knows it. You have no idea the depth the Akula or Yasen or Seawolf can dive. Whatever source you got that from has no idea either. Most likely just guesses at what it might be. The US doesn't need to catch up with Russia in how deep a sub can go. The US has a huge advantage when it comes to how quiet a sub is and there is no better issue when it comes to subs than how quiet it is. To this day a Ohio class ballistic submarine has never been successfully tracked by a Russian or any other country sub. And the Ohip class subs have been around for several decades. When it comes to the Seawolfs and Virginia class subs, forget it they don't stand a chance in finding one of them outside of being extremely lucky. On the other hand Los Angeles class subs track and even follow Russian subs all over the place. Most of the time unnoticed. So if the US is a little behind, which I doubt, in how deep their subs can dive compared to the Russian subs I say who cares. No where near as important as being more quiet.

If the sub is a seen primarily as a ICBM carrier(which they mostly are) the depth is what makes it dangerous, because depth makes it extremely hard to detect if at all. Obviously, the oceans of the world aren't just those blue areas on the map. You have to take underwater terrain and currents etc. into account.

Nice

Per Wikipedia Test depth This is the maximum depth at which a submarine is permitted to operate under normal peacetime circumstances, and is tested during sea trials. The test depth is set at two-thirds (0.66) of the design depth for United States Navy submarines, while the Royal Navy sets test depth at 4/7 (0.57) the design depth, and the German Navy sets it at exactly one-half (0.50) of design depth. Operating depth Also known as the maximum operating depth (or the never-exceed depth), this is the maximum depth at which a submarine is allowed to operate under any (e.g. battle) conditions. Design depth The nominal depth listed in the submarine's specifications. From it the designers calculate the thickness of the hull metal, the boat's displacement, and many other related factors. Crush depth This is the submerged depth at which the submarine implodes due to water pressure. Technically speaking, the crush depth should be the same as the design depth, but in practice is usually somewhat deeper. This is the result of compounding safety margins throughout the production chain, where at each point an effort is made to at least slightly exceed the required specifications to account for imperceptible material defects or variations in machining tolerances. A submarine, by definition, cannot exceed crush depth without being crushed. However, when a prediction is made as to what a submarine's crush depth might be, that prediction may subsequently be mistaken for the actual crush depth of the submarine. Such misunderstandings, compounded by errors in translation and a more general confusion as to the meanings of the various depth ratings, have resulted in multiple erroneous accounts of submarines not being crushed at their crush depth.

Sounds like a suicide submarine.

one more wiki challenge. Submarine max depth, noise characteristics, speed and etc are highly classified. When i worked on Admiralteysky shipyard, they have mount special device on propeller of kilo klass submarines to distort real noise. Surely the same things present on nuclear subs too. In real combat situations characteristics will be different.

There is a great misunderstanding of what test depth means. Yes it is the maximum depth a submarine can operate all the time, without any major damage or problems with systems exposed to the surrounding sea pressure. However, they can go much deeper. There is a limit however, and that is collapse depth where first hull valves, interior trim tanks, and other systems begin to fail, then the internal bulkheads fail. Then the hull collapses and breaks apart. The actual test and collapse depth are of course state secrets that are top secret or greater security classification. Normally, a commander will not take his ship below test depth, unless the situation is dire.

Test depths are what engineers say is safe. They're very conservative about it, the boats can likely exceed that by 25%.
