Is a matter of equal-opposite reaction.

As you know CapZap1970, just a couple of inches of water, on land, will efficiently knock you on your arse.

Well, just multiply that by 1/2 a foot, a couple of feet, or more... & well... I think by now, you get the picture. That sub, is going to go where waves decide it is going to go pretty much. The sub can drive forward ok, but you can bet there is going to be some what of a bit of side drift, either to port or starboard, depending on where the weight of that water is hitting.

That help any...
