Hi!
I assume the dockyard workers can take a few hours to chip and paint the hull of my U-boat before departure, so I use the freshly painted look. IRL there was (and is) no point in exposing more steel to corrosion than is absolutely necessary. You might find a few poorly maintained merchant ships with that scuzzy look, but not a man o'war.
