@ JayDee: Thanks for supplying research. The more we learn about the technology of the time the more we can figure out what should or shouldn't be in the game. One can never have too much information.

No, because a submarine underwater is just like a balloon in the air. The boat will move with the current, so will in effect still be standing still. It's the same problem as you have with 'dead reckoning' navigation. Unless you have a shore reference you can't tell what direction the current is travelling or how fast, because you're travelling with it.
