I dont know about the bow going under first in a fleet boat. If you take a close look at a fleet boat down its lenght you will notice that the ships bow rises up from the hull. So I am thinking it would be hard for the boat to get the prow under before the stern.
Take a look at the second to last picture on this page of the Gato.

The deck clearly rises slowly upward almost the entire length.
I am thinking thats because the boat was not designed to be a true submersible.
Nose it down too much and you might have the props comming partly out the water.
PS:
If you call battle stations all ahead flank in a Balao and give it time to build up speed then call crash dive the nose will go under first as the stern rises a bit. At least with the boat lowered it does.
