past 300' at the start of the war, the history was as I described
it.

But the event was in mid 1943. Paul Adam has shown where three
projects were underway in 1942 to allow for increased depth settings.




May had no way of knowing Japanese capability when he made the
comment.

He knew they were setting their fuses at 200' and US subs were capable
of operating below that.


I see no point in discussing this further. We agree that the leak
was reprehensible and that the observations of the submariners
were accurate.

Ok, It seems I misunderstood you. I was under the impression you did
not beliee either of those.

I have nothing further to show (except that I
could dig into more references saying the same thing), we might
as well agree to disagree.


No problem, that's always easy to do.
