I read a story in a US Submarine Veterans quarterly ( cant recall the name ) where a the crew of a crippled submarine patched together a sail and stringed it up with a periscope mast. It was a dismal failure because they were fighting with tide and predominant winds.
Eventually a Jap destroyer forced them to surrender, I believe the sub was scuttled.
Does'nt help you here but I thought it was an interesting anyway.
