Ship/sub camouflage doesn't make a boat any harder to spot, unlike DPM on soldiers uniforms. It is intended to make visual range estimations and aob harder to calculate when viewed in combination with natural shadows and water reflections. It was done to throw off gunnery and buy time, in much the same way aircraft tried different camo schemes during the first and second world wars.

In sh5 it's there for the purists and to offer greater variety amongst players in multiplayer.
