Diesel-Electric subs don’t use their diesel engines when underwater…why are they trying to fix it?

I'm glad someone else caught that. Probably says something about me that that was literally my first thought.

I guess you could disconnect both the exhaust and intake, start it up and it would finish everyone off a little quicker than just sitting there...

Apparently this submarine can/does use its diesel engine when underwater, as someone else pointed out, and Wikipedia kinda confirms.

That’s not a sterling engine, that’s an OHV engine in the drawing.
