I would be curious to get a definitive answer as to whether or not this feature does in fact exist in SH3...
Even if they exist, you can't know that they are there without instrumentation. I'm not sure if Uboats were so equipped.

For US subs at least, they were (after a certain stage of the war) equipped with bathythermographs, simple devices to monitor water temperature outside the sub. So the skipper could actually be aware of a gradient and use it to hide under. This was in fact implemeted in SHI, so there is no excuse in my mind for it not being in SH4.
