Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

But I still doubt that a world war 2 era submarine would be able to hover at any depth. Without computerised aids to constantly monitor the boat's trim and accurately regulate the boat's ballast tanks I would think they would be constantly either rising or falling without forward motion. But perhaps I am underestimating the capabilites of a pre-computer dependant society.
