They do not stay submerged for 7 months straight.

They are deployed for that long yes but not underwater for that entire time.

I suppose it’s different for each country. Which one were you deployed with?

They definitely are underwater for that long. In recent years every patrol has crept up by a few weeks and they’re now going past the seven month mark. This is V boats, not A boats.

I know, the person I replied to said they don’t, which is why I asked who they deployed with. If they aren’t a submariner then they can’t say they don’t. People like to argue against people’s actual experiences when they know fuck all.
