Is it really true that travelling at more than around 10 knots breaks the periscope on a submarine? I guess it must be (?) but it seems strange that after all this time they haven't figured a way to make it work at faster speeds. Is that because of technology limitations or is it more that they don't see a need to have it working at higher speeds?
