Looks like a reflection of the top of the sub from the underside of the surface of the water.....Probably a side effect of tweaking the reflective properties of the water

Next time you install your periscopes, don't hold the instructions upside down

This is easy to fix. Send a Bilge Rat outside and weld on a shaft and a four-bladed prop and you have a torpedo-bomber. Planes are much better anyway.:rotfl:

That can't be a capsize. A capsize would display the boat properly oriented in the scope view and internal instruments, but the world "upside down" (ie: surface at bottom of scope eye piece). That is a very strange graphics issue.
