I recently finished the book "U Boat 977", the German submarine that escaped to Argentina at the end of WWII. They put out from Norway and went around the west side of England to keep out of the English Channel. Along the way, they stayed submerged for 66 consecutive days, surfacing only after they were south of Gibralter and felt they were in the clear.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
