So you could have an actual underwater duel! I guess the only problem would be that the enemy sub would never surface since it doesn't have the AI for that.

I don't think the draft would have anything to do with it.
The trouble with AI submarines is they are defaulted to travel at periscope depth.......that's why we don't see any of the subs in the Museum (playable or AI) surfaced. They, unlike the surface ships, are defaulted to travel below the surface. To have them appear at all above water, they will need to be re Typed/Classed. This will limit their capabilities (if they sink below a certain depth......their considered sunk as any surface ship would), but they will be able to be seen (which they aren't as they stand now).
Frankly, the game left the AI subs out of the game completely except for the Museum display. Having them traveling surfaced, with deck gun armament, and possibly firing torpedo's as defense will be an improvement.
