I read somewhere (dont remember where), that when coming to battle surface, the sub would angle its planes downward, increase speed, and then blow its tanks dry unti it couldnt maintain depth anymore, then put the planes on rise and come up. I think this source said the requried crews would come out of the forward and stern hatches on the deck, and could get the first shot off (from "at ready" storage on deck somewhere) with the deck gun in about 15 seconds once surfaced.
