Having served on submarines for 30 years before my retirement I wouldn't suggest trying to move fore or aft when the sub is either diving or surfacing with any angle over 5-10 degrees. Even standing in one place normally requires you hanging onto a piece of equipement while having one foot on the deck and the other on a bulkhead. Any movement fore or aft is a hand over hand chore with the distinct possibility of losing your grip and being face planted up to 30 foot away into a (hopefully) bulkhead or catching the edge of a hatch or stanchion resulting in serious injury. All this is in a modern submarine where water condensation is minimal. In one of the old DB's with condensation on the decks it would have been even more hazardous.
