I think it was because it had some gigantic electrical engines, combined with some awesome hydrodynamics. If im not mistaken, it was a diesel-electric sub, so it ran on electricity on the surface too. the Diesels were only used to generate electrical power (i could be wrong on this, though..). :hmm:
