yes your sub has a glass hull when it comes to contact with other objects but if done carefully its very easy to put your sub on the bottom without any damage.

have your engines come to a complete stop about 5-10 meters off of the bottom and when you have slowed down to at least a speed of 1 (dead stop is best) then lower your depth 5 meters at a time waiting for it to stop before going deeper then your sub will settle slowly doing no damage when you contact the bottom. when you touch bottom lower the depth about 15 meters lower then your depth so the sub stays steady and doesnt move around causing damage

when you are ready to move again just raise up your depth but you cant use the engines untill you clear the bottom or you will get engine, hull, and rudder, damage just as you should in real life

its not like the movies where you just sink till you hit the bottom or you would bend the rudders, props, and shafts doing it and in doing so you are effectively destroying your own sub
