We're over the maximum safe depth.”
Mr. Tines: There's always a generous safety margin.
UrsusArctos: For submarines, there's a relationship between test depth (peacetime safe depth), maximum operating (never-exceed) depth and crush depth, at which the sub folds up like a tin can. Not sure what the JMSDF uses for its submarines, but the German Navy, the most conservative that I know of, sets the test depth for U-boats at half that of the calculated crush depth. Assuming that they're using the German calculation and the safe depth was 1000 meters, Asuka shouldn't be in danger from the pressure until far longer.
