I believe there are times when the periscope could be used easily and effectivly underwater and I doubt that real life sub captains would disregard a very usefull survival tool because it made things too easy.

The problem is that what anybody thinks one way or the other, or any group reaching a consensus is pretty much useless. If they actually did it, they would have mentioned it. If they did mention it and I missed it, I'll gladly be corrected; but if no one ever said anything about it then they probably couldn't do it. |
I too have never seen a reference to using a scope in such a manner.
Even the reference given earlier about using the scope to take a peek at bubbles dident specifically state that it was done below the waterline. |
It was my understanding that they were down well below PD. They were hiding from escorts, after all....
