Submarine TITANS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_TITANS)
I bought this game on a whim back in August of 2000. My birthday was the 24th, and I got a $25 gift card to Best Buy from one of my aunts. Despite the game being a recent release, the price had already dropped to $20. I was in the mood to play an RTS, and I've always been a big fan of submarine movies (not to mention that aunt's husband served on the SSBN-742 USS Wyoming)... so I picked it up.
I ended up falling in love with that dumb game. Depth actually played a part in combat (you could maneuver your submarines to ambush the enemy from above or below, or have your submarines change depth to try to dodge enemy fire), you could set your units to automatically attempt to retreat for repairs if their armor reached certain percentages, and you could capture enemy technology and add it to your own build options for future missions (including both buildable units/structures and researched buffs). It was also a very colorful and pretty game for its time.
I'm having a bit of a powerful nostalgia trip, so I might actually try to reinstall it again at some point. I kinda wish a patched version of it would come to GoG or something.
