I get nervous when people start talking about things going to a depth they
weren't intended to take. Something about multiple hearings of Dan's
uncle's story about how his sub (in WWII) almost didn't make it back up from
a dive on his watch.... (They fell below the depth the sub was rated for,
and it got worse from there before it got better.)
