That's a little over 10 miles...….sounds right to me!!

You do know that the Horizon is only 12 miles away if you're standing 100 feet above sea level?!

Standing on the deck of a surfaced sub might be 15 feet above sea level. The horizon is less than 5 miles away at that height!! The game models a ship at further distances, but you should find that you're seeing only the top portion of the ship, the bottom is hidden below the horizon. The fact you can see a ship at 10 miles, in good weather, is appropriate, and very accurate. The world is not flat, it has a curve in it. You can't see what's on the surface unless you rise above it!
