[PSUBS-MAILIST] the purpose of sails



for the life of me, i cannot imagine a reason for a nuclear powered war-sub to need such  a large sail.  The current day nuclear subs wouldn't really be too concerned with a forced surfacing under a storm.  So why not lose the sail in favor of a sleeker profile?
