Hi rabbit,
A former client of mine had seen service on a "boomer" or missile sub. I don't recall his specific assignment but I do recall him saying how their job was mainly to "disappear" while on active duty at sea. This I believe would NOT include being anywhere near periscope depth. After all, even a WWII sub could be seen when 60 feet beneath the surface. The color black is not necessarily difficult to detect from an aircraft that is looking for a sub. Just my puny two cents worth.
Sincerely,
Les
