I'm working on a design concept of a "super-sub" for large sub-surface oceans in moons, and can't seem to make sense of the calculations of the Depth box on page 7 of Pyramid #3-24.

According to the box, the crush depth of my sub with dDR 60 and 1200 feet length is less than 8 feet. I looked up the stats on a LA-Class sub ("test" depth of 800 ft and 362 feet long), and working the formula backwards gives it a dDR of 1,931!

Has there been errata on this, or am I applying the formula wrong?
