Achieving a perfect trim is nearly impossible, as there is no such thing as a boat that doesn't leak. Back then the only way to maintain depth while stationary was to use the pumps, which were just as noisy as the motors while running. Modern boats use a computer to control the stability, but it still has to use the pumps to do so. The only way to be totally silent in WW2 was to sit on the bottom.
