IIRC, hadn't the SF just surfaced for a fix, then been underway again for ~ 4 min when the collision occurred? Can one of ours get to 500 ft depth that quickly?

Going to the surface to get a fix does not require any thing special. Just poke the #2 scope above the surface, pull it back in and resume your cruise. None of that "Surface Surface Surface" or "Dive Dive Dive" stuff. To resume, you just crank on the turns and dive back to transit depth. Five hundred feet and 30 knots is easily obtainable in a few minutes. Quicker if needed.
