Default Introduction and About Saddle Tanks . . .

Hello! I just registered at Subsim. I am excited to participate in this forum, because I am incredibly fascinated by WWI and WWII submarines. Also, I found this forum stumbling around during some research.
Be warned though: I have MANY questions.

One of these involves the saddle tanks of the Type VIIC and the stability bulges of the Italian Navy's Submarines (WWII).

From plans of a VIIC it seems the tanks were placed at the upper body of the ship. Would it be logical to place them along the whole side instead of just the upper area?

I put in an image of the plans I am referring to.
