A good friend served aboard the Nautilus in the late '60's. He said there was a minor incident where the sub crashed into some underwater ice and her hull was slightly bent. This caused her to drift left if the rudders were trimmed at their normal attitude. The trick was to see how many times the Nautilus could make a circle during his watch while the "old man" (the captain) was asleep.
Personally, I really don't believe this story. A captain of any ship would have some navigational skills and should know about how far the sub should have gone while he was alseep. But it makes for an interesting story.
