I recognized the story when I first saw it - first-run back in the sixties.
It's called The Enemy Below: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050356/

Did you ever notice that in the original Star Trek series, any time the Enterprise was "disabled" in battle, it always tilted... Tilting in space?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Star Trek when it first came out when I was a kid.
I just have to remember that science is sometimes "overlooked" for the sake of entertainment. I can recall my brother pissed at me for "questioning" how the X-Wings and TIE fighters in Star Wars could fly like atmospheric aircraft in the vacumn of space. He was adamant that it could happen. I guess you have to "dumb down" physics or the general audience would not get it.

Don't laugh. In the episode there is a scene where the weapon control room is "flooding" with some kind of gas (water?) and Spock runs in to save the crew trapped in the compartment and fires the weapons..

Tilting is to help you visualize the fact the Enterprise is not in a healthy state! Now quit ruining it for me!
