How do you get a sub to ground?

Also, I set the depth to lets say "600" ft and the speed to "0", so why is the sub in the mission doing its own thing?

Lets say depth is 600ft.
Set the subs tactic as transit, sub depth 550ft, slow speed of say 3kts, any faster and it might not slow down when bottoms and sustain damage, set the first waypoint 0kts 650ft, when sub reaches first waypoint it slows and bottoms, if it sustains damage play about with the depths so its not slamming down.

For a sub not to move use same tactic, transit, set speed 0kts and it stays at 0kts, or you could use transit to make it go somewhere, when it gets to the last waypoint it stops at 0kts.

Just be aware that the sub will still move to avoid torpedos, etc.
