this is true... but i have run into several - in fact dozens of occasions where i dove deep, leveled the boat. went all stop, and the boat began a gradual descent of only 10 or 12 feet per minute that was controllable only by...
a. blowing ballast
b. increasing speed to 2 knots or greater
despite the fact that the planes showed full rise, and the surface command had been issued the boat gradually sank with zero speed. (no damage had been sustained)
