Truer than you know. On older, smaller submarines we would have "trim parties". Take a group of bored sailors (the bigger the group, the more fun) and all head to the torpedo room. This would change the trim of the submarine and the diving officer would have to pump water around the variable ballast tanks to compensate. Just about the time he fixed the trim - we'd all head to the very back of the engine room. Amazing what bored folks due on a submarine. The newer submarines are so big that we had to find other ways to occupy ourselves.
