[net.movies] Raiders of the Lost Ark Question...

It is not outside the realm of possibility that the submarine did not submerge
on the trip from the coast of Africa to wherever that was.  World War Two
diesel-electric boats had nowhere near the endurance our nuclear powered subs
of today have, and they ran faster on the surface than below.  If there was
no enemy acivity in the area (and this was only 1936) there was no good
reason to submerge, using precious battery power.

Indy's pretty sharp, you know, and he might have known something like that.
