For the most part the Med is not that deep.
And on that point the crush depth seems quite excessive, but on technical grounds I’d defer to Brockpaine’s opinion. He knows Subsim far better than I do.
The first question that comes to my mind is why Greece might require an oceanic-scale submarine, particularly one so large and with such long range, when presumably the Greek Navy would be operating in the Mediterranean, which historically has been troubled ground for large submarines. During the Second World War the Royal Navy found itself getting a better return on the smaller U and V class boats than with the larger S and T classes.

I had a similar idea but in the order of go deep to avoid any conflict. Now I realize that no matter how deep you go if you emerge just a few miles away.Quoted
French thinking on this matter favors small submarines, with their underwater mobility maximized at the cost of all other factors, including striking power.
All of them of the Air Searcher in particular? Around which weight? After all I just want it to be as powerful to allow the submarine to dive in time.
