Right.

Based on what I understand of deisel engines, the only time you should see smoke is when they start up or when there is a problem.

When the engine comes up to operating temperature there should be very little (if any at all) smoke trace.

Smoke coming from a sub at sea is a big "HERE I AM SHOOT ME!!!" sign, LOL.

This is part of the reason that the IXD1 sub(s) were not used more than once or twice. IIRC there was only one or two IXD1 subs built. (I'm sure someone will come along and correct me here, LOL.) IXD1 engines generated a lot of smoke, both outside and inside the sub.
