so what ship is next the Yamato or the Bismarck??
The saddest thing I find about the big submarines, is that they are often longer than the depth of water they can get stuck in. but theyre not designed to airbag, foam or otherwise skyscraper one end up.
Wasnt there experiments on getting submariners out by using buckets or bags over head? Not wrapped round, creating a classic brass diving helmet air bubble that acts as boyuncy and exopands out the bottom as they rise, the trick trying to be between the hatch and the surface, theres too little time for bends level nitrogen to dissolve, or was it so they come up fast enough that while crippled, theyre capable of being grabbed and Chambered for recovery?
If Charybdis was making All the wrecks a fleet, then somone would have to get extremely creative in taking them out?
Magical gems growing that quickly aint mineral deposition by hydrothermal, but either temporal flux due to planar intersection, or excretions from living organisms, slimes, fungi etc?

What you are describing would not work at the depths the Georgia is at. If it grounded in say fifty feet of water, that could be done. At six hundred, fuhgeddaboudit. The Bends will kick in before you reach the surface from six hundred. No time to stop and decompress, as humans do coming up from the depths.
I'm no diver, (hell, I ain't really a swimmer), but I did learn some things.
a awesome chapter and it sounds like you have a amazing team helping with your story.

I'll go a little bit further than Alden on that one. It sounds like what you're describing is a primitive version of a Steinke Hood, which is a personal evacuation system that's been phased out in favor of fully-enclosed escape suits. The suits are better at escaping at depths (and they're rated to 600 feet max) than the hoods and have a limited compressed air supply, but the kind of barotrauma they're at risk of when escaping is different from the one saturation divers have to account for.
From what I surmised researching the stuff, it's not that they're at risk due to the nitrogen; but that even when using training towers, submariners have to be extremely careful of how they manage their breathing or they may suffer from stuff like: lung collapse, carbon dioxide saturation, fainting, ...
The suits are good, but they're still advised to have chambers on the surface. Stats say half the trainees that use the escape suits suffer from barotrauma.
Risky stuff.

In the same fashion that I put a bottleneck on potion production with a limited ressource, I felt compelled to put one on the Demons' ability to raise wrecks. Manyes, the terminology is inadequatepower that is, I kept them limited in how many pirates and thralls they have to man the wrecks, even with the 'eldritch engine' factor reducing the crew requirement.
You know... boring stuff in writing, managing the balance of power between factions and all. Battleships like Yamato needs complements numbering near the 2.000 mark. That's a bit much.
It's not that the idea isn't enticing (god knows a battleship has an awesome factor to it), but the vast majority of the conflict in this story is low intensity. Not 'Jutland' intense, but more like 'Commerce and colony raiders of WW1' intense. It's a post-apocalyptic story after all, not a war story. The scopes are different, resources (manpower in this story) are limited, and fights are infrequent.
