Not true as it goes reading some time ago a thesis on submarine hydro dynamics it turns out the higher the sail the more prone to snap roll the submarine is, as ive been told the "skipjacks were the worst".

Without a sail the submarine is just as stable, if you have noticed the russian submarine sails are small (you cant even break a leg if you jumped), the akulas sail is about a foot taller than the bullet at the back end its also longer and more sleek looking.

The quote "Skipjacks were the worst" came from xabbarus a while back he got that from an acctual skipjack submariner.
