Eye-candy. And to enhance your ability to see the thing when it's beneath the surface.
Boats decked out for patrol did not have 'international orange' painted marker-buoy fairing plates, hull numbers on bow and sail, ships 'name' at the stern, nor DSRV target markings over the escape trunk hatches. And the otherwise shiny MBTV flange-rings and salvage plates were painted black like the rest of the hull.
I put those markings and colorations -- and that includes 'weathering' -- there to make the model submarine more visible as it travels underwater.

Boats are trimmed for a consistant surfaced waterline with the auxillery tanks, reguardless of stores, weapons, and personnel load.
