Ahhh I see it....no water is showing and you can see the entire boat almost flying in mid air and not just the upper section above the water line as you would see while looking through the scope.
What kind of video card do you have?I have not seen this graphics issue in some time.

It's known nVidia MMX card bug.
I never see the water. I think it makes my game quite easier, cause I see ships sooner than others do, but there is nothing I could do about it. It's also the reason I hardly ever take any screenshots, as they look ugly and unrealistic. It also makes very difficult to see if a ship is sinking or not, cause you always see whole the siluette (spelling wrong, but I dn't know the proper).
But that has another very interesting side effect - as my computer doesn't have to render the water, it uses much, very much less of its CPU/RAM and is able to run the game. If I had a good card, I could not play the game, as then my computer would never run it. So if any of you has too weak machine, just buy nVidia MMX card and you'll finally get it.
PS Luckily when under water it's not transparent, it's only the surface that is invisible. So when I am submerged I can't see ****, and that is as it should be.
Last patrol I experimented with water clarity and played once with '20' setting (very clear) and that's funny - at night while raising the scope I see the ship _better_ before its eye surfaces (the underwater ship part, of course) than over surface, if it's night. But I came back to '0' setting (water becomes like mud) so that it never tempts me to abuse this bug.
