Did anyone bother to check the weather conditions during their operations? I would suspect that a submarine is more prone to the effects of surface waves bouncing and rolling them around and stay submerged to avoid those.

Modern subs are designed to operate efficiently totally submerged. They are not good surface ships. I know some crew who had to shuttle one quite a distance to be dismantled. It had been extensively sourced for parts and was not submergeable. A couple said they’d never been so sea sick in their life.
