Some locations have (soon to be fully AI) birds in the sky,
so attempting to move on surface during day beyond the
prevailing drift might result in capture, all you could do
is sit there surface charging as a piece of "driftwood"
while hoping your glass doesn't reflect into the birds.

What are current estimates of battery capacity needed
per subsea nautical mile?

Cryptocurrency powered international distributed shipping,
parcel networks, drop gangs, etc will need to know these metrics.

However today the latest tech has cut battery needs to a fraction...

Wave / ocean / sea / hydro gliders, buoyancy engines, etc.
They're dual use so you can profit by selling them.

It's also highly likely the US has TOP-SECRET littered
the ocean with them to complement the SOSUS nets.

Maybe Anonymous will score a botkill on twitter, lol.

> ghost nets

Try physical spikes and full spectrum sensors to detect
before impact, raising odds of success of full reverse thruster.

As with 3D-printed guns, the plans can all be opensource,
open for all to improve.

Other than surfacing for charge, gliders can operate
in safer density zones, outside SOFAR channels, etc.

Though as with free speech, cryptocurrency, tor, etc...
distributed censorship resistant and free market shipping
alternatives among peers will be the legitimate and
majority use case.

Besides, by that time, crypto will have made any remaining govts
abandon their silly futile costly and harmful war on drugs anyway.
