Not sure how well wetsuits insulate outside the water, but I thought it wasn't as good as they do in water.

They work pretty well - too well a lot of the time, since you tend to be diving in warmer climates. People switch into their wetsuit as close to diving as possible when diving somewhere warm. The point is to have insulation that isn't exactly water-tight, but which keeps the rubber-insulated air bubbles (which convect heat very slowly) between the body-temperature air or water inside the suit and the cold air or water outside the suit. Wetsuits come in different thicknesses and coverings, though, which drastically alter how well they insulate, especially out of water.

Here's a discussion on the topic which covers some of the different types of wetsuits and how they react out of the water.

He should probably order some wetsuits, then, as those pants aren't going to help much when wet. Especially for the submarines. (And also, they'll be much more form-fitting.)

Inconvenient thing about navies, they do tend to operate outdoors.

Why are they outside if it's so dang cold?

Put smiles on the faces of his poor underdressed shipgirls. Those smiles warm my heart more than their bare shoulders and tummies did.

They look like a World War II bomber crew now, not that there's anything wrong with that. :)

(Sakawa, in particular, looks really at home in that outfit.)
