Is this an issue with this particular submarine and NYGM?
Did you prepare your attack by crash diving then set your own depth once down a little? If so, you're a victim of the Crash Dive Blues™ which is a stock game bug.

What happens is if you start to crash dive, then change depths before it reaches your crash dive depth, you end up tilted down slightly. This is what causes you to have to run at 3kts+ to maintain depth, even faster with damage/flooding.

The fix for this is to rise above your crash depth, then crash dive again allowing your boat to go the whole way and settle at the proper depth. You can turn during this process but don't manually set a depth. Once you've done this, you're set.

You can see the crash dive blues in action with the external camera, try it out sometime so you understand how it works.
