A submarine is not streamlined primarily because its design prioritizes buoyancy and structural integrity over hydrodynamic efficiency. Unlike streamlined objects that minimize drag, submarines have a robust hull to withstand water pressure at depth and accommodate various systems, including ballast tanks and propellers. Additionally, the need for features like hatches and periscopes creates protrusions that disrupt a streamlined shape. Consequently, while submarines are designed to be efficient underwater, their form is not optimized for streamlining in the same way as fast-moving aquatic animals or streamlined vehicles.
