If any of us operated a diesel sub, they had diesel fuel tanks that were open on the bottom to seawater, which displaced the oil as it is used up.
Never heard of them having much problems with that either!
Hehehe... :B
"The submarine, then, becomes heavy as fuel oil is used. This compensating principle is used in the normal fuel oil tanks, fuel ballast tanks, expansion tank, and collecting tank. These tanks must at all times be filled with a liquid, either fuel oil, sea water, or a combination of both. The compensating principle is not used in the clean fuel oil tanks."
Most people haven't been struck by lightening, but it happens.
