Well – they'd have to lurk like loitering munition – cruising.

I think it looks far more like an ekranoplane than a submersible craft. The 10 passenger + 1 pilot capacity is interesting in that context: according to the source of all wisdom and knowledge, the international rules for ground effect vehicles apply only to crafts carrying 12 passengers and more.

If they have to constantly be moving then that dramatically shortens their mission time and sacrifices stealth.
