Agreed. I've watched the program "Deadlest Catch" on t.v. which is about men fishing in the Bearing Sea. A captain spoke about the danger of rolling the top-heavy boat, laden with crab pots, if too much ice accumulated on the boat. Doesn't a u-boat have a low center-of-gravity to prevent this sort of thing?
