I've noticed the depth changing abilities of the subs seem to be grossly inflated. Would take well over half an hour for a US sub to get back to periscope depth from around 300' under usual circumstances (pretty sure that's what Dick O'Kane says in Wahoo).
As for being able to control your depth like that while stationary, that's just nonsense.

Lets see.
300 - 60 = 240
240 / 30 = 8
8 feet a minute rise?
I dont think he was trying very hard.  |
LOL.
In Steeltrap's defense he probably read 'seemed like 30 minutes' as "it took 30 minutes."
That's what paraphrasing gets you.
