Peter,
You are correct antifouling paint does "slough off" quite easily. It's quite messy stuff. If I were to own a dockside sub, I would opt for standard topside coatings.
Incidentally, a neat trick to determine a new vessels true waterline, is to let her sit in calm water for several days fully fueled, then haul out again. This will mark the line nicely.

Carsten and others...What is right...do you paint a submarine in antifouling paint from keel to top periscope, or only to surfaced construction water line ?Did Carstens answer meant he gives EURONAUT blue paint up to this or is it the whole boat ? Anti fouling paints are not always good for anything else then antifouling - some will very fast get rubbed off if used on deck.We have today all of Kraka covered with antifouling - but I am not sure if people generally thinks a boat in that style looks better with a marked waterline - last year Kraka was red below water - now all is dull black.Comments wellcome.Regards,Peter
