Though fully submersible ones exist. FSVs, Fully submersible vessels in the author's taxonomy:
Well, it's nice to see that the billions of $$ we ship to the "narco" organizations are being used for advanced R&D.
If we could only get the real estate mafia to follow suite, maybe we could finally learn to face buildings toward the south?
Another possible course of action: legalize channels of distribution for those substances so tht we stop shipping billions of $$ to some of the most violent organizations on earth...
There apparently are models that do have somewhat of a periscope/snorkel/apparatus and are capable of some submersion ...
Apparently, the 'very shallow and thin' model is good enough to not get caught, without having to dive (heh) into the complexities associated with submersion.-
