Logic would dictate that submarines were not damaged by storm conditions mainly because they would not surface during stormy weather unless required.

I know from personal experience in 1984, I was on USS Coral Sea off east coast of US. In a Storm. A big Wave that came in at 45 degree angle ripped off half the Port Side Cat Walk from Bow to Mid Ship and all antenna on that side as well.
The Cat Walk is at Flight Deck level approximately 30-45 feet (10-15m) above water level.
