"... If the water was shallow enough, grounding was considered an excellent tactic..."
As far as the GAME (as opposed to a particular historical reference) grounding is not a sure tatic (depending on circumstances) and is not likely to work in shallow water. If you can go deep enough, works sometimes and sometimes not depending on the skill of the enemy at the time.
With all the above said, what is the purpose of the discussion? What works in the game? Or, what you think AUGHT to work in the game?
In the real world, you cannot always count on sand under you and going to ground on a pile of rocks or a reef does not sound like something any real world commander would do as a matter of 1st choice.
