you also have to take into account the dive plans and forward motion anchor the stability of the boat so it wont want to tip over.

its just like the fishing boats that use outrigger planes to make them stable and not wobble around out there

as to running decks awash it was purely used to present less of a target in a situation where they would be spotted or come under fire so the idea is to get the best underwater speed you can by keeping the tower out of the water yet keep the stealth of being "mostly" out of sight.

i think it was a tactic that was rarely used and only under the right weather conditions
