No windows.

the sub was on surface with no light an no radar emission (because of the new security measure to avoid kamikaze boat attack) then it was the fault of the watch mens.

Where did you hear the sub was on the surface?

Opps edit there it is:

while the submarine was conducting surfaced operations as it transited to Bahrain for a scheduled port visit.
