WWII US Gato class subs could exceed 400 feet.
ANS 2 - Some modern submarines can dive to at least 1,500 feet, some possibly even 2,000. -The Navies involved will never admit it

Why submarines need a thick hull to go deeper?
Because thin metals will crush under extreme depth
What did the Japanese use against US submarines?
Depth charges.
What are the depth of the titanic and are there any dsvs that can travel to that depth can a person dive to the titanic?
It's about 2.5 miles below the surface of the North Atlantic. That depth is far beyond where a diver can go, but specialized deep-sea submarines can visit the wreck site.
How did airplanes destroy submarines?
Airplanes dropped depth charges and specialised torpedoes
What is an underwater bomb used to attack submarines?
The weapon described is a depth charge.
How is a submarine used for pleasure?
Most pleasure submarines are either personal watercraft with limited diving capability, or tourist submarines with limited depth capability.
Can a submarine go to the bottom of the sea?
Define "submarine" and "bottom of the sea".Submarines are designed for a particular pressure/depth. The designers also incorporate a margin of error, so the actual depth at which the submarine would be crushed by external pressure ("crush depth") is generally marginally greater than its "design depth". Submarines normally operate at a fraction of their design depth (this is called "test depth") under normal peacetime conditions. Different navies use different fractions as the test depth; the German navy specifies a test depth of half the design depth, while the US navy uses 2/3 of design depth.If the sea floor depth at a particular point is less than the sub's test depth, then they can approach it (though, for various reasons, actually touching it is nearly always a bad idea).The deepest known point in the ocean is the Challenger Deep in the Marianas Trench, at about 10,916 meters. Two human-manned vessels (one solo craft and one with two occupants) have gotten within a few meters of the bottom there, but both of them were technically "submersibles" rather than "submarines"; they had limited mobility and basically existed to go primarily straight down (and, hopefully, back up) rather than cruise for long distances horizontally. Actual submarines generally have much lower design depths. For example Virginia-class US nuclear attack submarines have a test depth of only about 240 meters (putting their design depth at about 360 meters).
How deep does a depth charge have to go to detonate?
Depth charges are typically set to detonate at a specific depth, depending on the target being pursued. Depths can vary, but they are often set between 50 to 150 meters below the water's surface. This depth is chosen to optimize the effectiveness of the explosion against submarines or underwater targets.
Can sonar use in periscope depth?
Yes sonar can be used at periscope depth. Surface ships also have sonar arrays on them. They are usually used to detect submarines.
How do submarines navigate and find ravines valleys mountains flatland canyons under water?
Naval submarines do not dive deep enough to go near underwater mountains. This is contrary to what you may have seen in the movies. They use sounding charts to determine the depth of the water in which they are navigating. They avoid such underwater objects. Research submarines use cameras and sonar, as well as charts, to guide them.
How is a pink dolphin like submarines?
Pink dolphins are like submarines because they never go in the water, dolphins and submarines alike are have waterphobia and never go in the water. Pink dolphines also are lesbians like submarines
Where do submarines go?
in the water
