Well, that's only half-true. Prior to amphibious landings during the war, some submarines carried meteorologists to read and predict weather and tide activity, so that the landings would go smoothly (ie., you don't run into 40-foot waves that capsize your troop transports). I remember reading of at least one instance of this, after Guadalcanal but before the Philippines.
