yeah it does. I was just playing around with ideas. I'll move it to the floor of the conning tower and see if I can make it 'spill out' from inside the conning tower, onto the sub and down the sides.
Another idea: from my background in physics and fluid dynamics I see a problem with the water streams. If the sub has motion in the water then the movement of the water across a hole opening would preclude it from entering into the hole and filling it up as an eductor effect would be happening (along with a smooth laminar flow boundary being established to some degree across the opening). The magnitude of this effect would depend on the speed of water across the hole opening (sub's speed) along with some other factors (we'll choose to disregard these other factors since they are small in magnitude compared to the eductor effect and the establishment of the smooth laminar flow boundary). I'm going to try and model this effect. Anyone in agreement?
As sub speed would increase the water streams themselves would decrease in size, speed, opacity, weight, etc with this modelling.
