"It's an official PSUBS sub because it has stick-on bathtub daises for
nonskid!"

Most of the boats were talking about here aren't going to have enough
surface area for walking.  

The surface roughness thing for streamlining is interesting.  There was
a patent for a combination of  polymer injection and grooves cut into  a
submarine hull as a speed enhancer.    I suspect that works in a certain
speed, probably just about what we're expecting as a normal speed.  I'll
go through my books here.
