Takes engines to charge those big boys. You travel about 50 miles submerged at 1knt, but the gallons you use to recharge, that fuel would've given you over 200 miles on the surface.

Agreed. You want to stay on the surface as long as possable. Me personally I dont submurge until i get a radar contact on my SJ. Infact the only times I'm underwater is to avoid airplanes/HK groups or to make day or the ocassional night submurged attack
