That's what i think he means. And here's why i think this:
As an experiment (and its a damn good one too), mod your MK 14 torpedo's to have a 100% chance to run circular. Load up the torpedo practice sub school mission. Allow yourself to be hit. Then salvage your boat.. surface, whateer, and back it up to shallow waters. Then, make sure everythign is 100% repaired, and when you barely have enough water to cover the top of the conning tower allow yourself to submerge.
You'll notice two things:
1.) the damage compartment will have negative boyancy. And whichever area was damaged will be the first one to hit the bottom.
2.) All other compartments in the sub, even thoguh they are undamaged and at 100% tip top shape, will suddenly break and flood. Its like one big domino effect. Boat folds in like a crushed egg, even with only a couple feet of water on top of you.
