Why in the world do you expect the sub should stop on a dime after you ask it to do a "Crash Dive" that speeds up the engine speed to Full Flank Speed, and opens up the flood doors completely?? And, doing it in water, one of the most friction free environments (besides air) there is?

It's physics man!
