It would be good to have mention of various deep-sea bathyscaphes and deep submergence vehicles, which after all have descened to as far as 11 km below sea level, and presumably have crush depths greater than this. Deuar 14:49, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- 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 record holder is. Don't want a list of all known classes (although that could be a separate "list of" article).--J Clear 16:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
The reports of subs exceeding collapse depth are more or less urban myths, probably based on broken depth gauges. I'd be extremely leery of believing any of them. Trekphiler 22:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
