The 2 Polish trawlers that got their array stolen was during the cold war. The british sub Conquerror had an attachment for spec ops and cut the array in such a way that it would look like it snagged on something and ripped off. The array swipe was to see how advanced the new soviet tech was, It turned out to be acopy of an american array that russia got info on from the Walker spy ring.

Re: Submariners going to space. LTCDR Kayla Barron was a submarine qualified division officer aboard the USS Maine before she was selected to be an astronaut in 2017. Stephen Bowen is also a submarine qualified officer turned astronaut in 2000. I would say sub-qual'd personnel do make good candidates to go into space as space ship crew, not only because of systems familiarity, but because they can stand being in an enclosed space with no windows. I can see certain practices of sub crew carrying over to space crew, like the process to be sub-qual'd.

H2 detection in seawater is completely possible using Raman Spectroscopy or Electrochemical method. Russians probably use the ingenious electrochemical method which will detect free H2 in seawater with high resolution very quickly. You can interfere with the sensor's reading tricking it to read 0 by adding chlorine or HCl to the hydrogen dump. This will take a normal reading and trick it to be a null reading if the solution in the water column remains relatively the right ratio. Hydrogen lingers in water for 10 days or more. Which means if the water column is relatively stable the hydrogen wake is extremely long and can be followed with high precision.
