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.
The vessel has been certified to a preliminary maximum diving depth of 10,925 ± 6.5 m (35,843 ± 21 ft) by DNV, based on data from the deepest dive. [1] The vessel is commercially rated for repeated dives to full ocean depth.
This three-and-a-half-year effort to upgrade the vessel implemented the core infrastructure to eventually increase its depth capability from 4,500 meters (14,800 ft) to 6,500 meters (21,300 ft). [20] In 2014, an extensively refitted Alvin conducted verification testing in the Gulf of Mexico, and was certified to return to service.
Perhaps a table of example submarines, listing some heavily produced boats and a few extreme examples, and list all the various depth ratings known. I'd include what ever the most numerous U-Boat and US Fleet boat WWII designs were, an LA Class, perhaps a Kilo, and what ever a common Soviet nuke boat, then maybe Trieste and whatever the current ...

The New Submersible. The new submersible will be known as the Triton 4000/2 Abyssal Explorer. The 4000 in the name refers to the depth it can reach, which is slightly more than where the Titanic ...
E-Class submarines had wireless systems with 1 kilowatt (1.3 hp) power ratings; in some submarines, these were later upgraded to 3 kilowatts (4.0 hp) systems by removing a midship torpedo tube. Their maximum design depth was 100 feet (30 m) although in service some reached depths of below 200 feet (61 m) (other sources say 160ft design depth ...
The Vanguard is a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine introduced in 1994 as part of the Trident nuclear programme. Each sub costs around £3.75 billion, measuring nearly 500ft ...
