I'm not 100% sure, but you probably are right, to a certain point.

All subs except a select few act more like blimps or hot air balloons by 
changing their buoyancy to go up and down than they do airplanes, which use 
wings to generate lift.

Now (check my reasoning here) if your sub displaced 1,000 pounds of water, 
and your wings generated 1,000 pounds of "lift" you wouldn't need to add 
extra weight in order for you to sink, unless you somehow make the sub 
lighter.
