I have associates who struggle to get solid copper let alone a piece of feeble plastic to stick to a ship hull, the hydraulic forces can be enormous. For example the velocity of water inside a typical fire hose is about 20kph, and ships typically travel at 30 to 40 kph.
( Some might confuse the internal hose velocity with the exit velocity, the exit velocity is 3 or 4 times higher due to the function of the de laval nozzle. )
