How deep can World War 2 submarines go?

World War II submarines typically had operational dive depths ranging from about 200 to 400 feet (60 to 120 meters), depending on the class and design. For example, German U-boats could generally dive to around 750 feet (230 meters), while American submarines had similar capabilities.
