6 m for a Balao seems to keep everyone in place during a 15 m/s wind.
rolling from the additional exposed freeboard does not seem to be a problem for either the crew or handling the boat and we do not seem to be detected any more than we usually do.

No prob. T he post was in the Dark Waters forum for U Boats, I replied there and in the Type VIIB had mixed results, but somewhat better. I rarely have the issue in fleetboats likely because the bridge/conning tower is higher off the water.
