The depth of the ocean at the point of the incident was not immediately known.

But it can be estimated: Shallow!

Oh, wait, duh! I just realized it could've been submerged when it "ran aground." I assumed it was on the surface. That'll teach me to check my assumptions before posting, lol.

We have GPS and a marvelous computerized screen telling us how deep the water is on our boat. We have the entire east coast and the Chesapeake. We would use another disc if we were to travel to other waters. It is all on charts. Could the earthquake have cause any changes? Something just does not sound right. This submarine had someone sleeping in the control room?

Not necessarily. Submarines can go "all the way to the bottom".

If you are 600 ftbsl and the ocean floor rises 100 ft. Is that still considered shallow?

Coming in contact with the ocean floor at 500 ftbsl isn't shallow where I come from.
