Was it? Who says? I'm betting that at the first site of any enemy the boat got buttoned up tighter than a sardine tin. |
Well, with the hatch closed it would be hard for the sonarman to communicate with personnel in the control room, so in that sense it would make sense to keep the hatch open. The sonarmen also wore their headset only on their right ear in order to better communicate with the rest of the crew. Now that would make for a cool mod as well.
