Does removing the deck gun actually improve performance,or is it a myth?

Sorry if this topic may have been asked before,I simply cant remember and dont fancy sifting through what is likely to be 1000s of posts either.

I keep it under the hole war.But when you dive you can save some second,when the boat hit the surface probably.
