Interesting to know how deep though.

I should have layered some fishies over it to make it more realistic

80 meters... why are all the cool wrecks so deep?

 

[The Kraken]

Bcause the oceans are deep.

And because during hostilities the captain of the ship doesn't usually enjoy the luxury of having the time to take his ship to some sultry, exotic port of call before the enemy decides to sink his vessel.

I'm not sure about the Russians but I know that the Americans sunk all the Japanese submarines in REALLY deep water after they'd finished with them....so that the Russians (and probably anyone else! ) wouldn't get a look at them. There's a bunch off the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture near Sasebo. They're far too deep to be diveable. They were by far the most advanced subs in use during the 2WW by anyone.....
