    This is indeed very interesting, getting different takes on the depth gauge and where it might have been. From memory there were no gauges in the submarine escape training tank in HMS Dolphin but that is only 100ft deep. Thank you guys for the information

    Thank you, Morturn, that's terrific info. I spent 29 years of my 31 years Service in the Submarine Service and still every day is a school day

    Thanks Pedrocut, you may be right. All I can find are 700ft gauges on the older subs. Hopefully somebody might come up with an idea.
