Nonsens.

I remember ther was a complete silence before the atack. And then suddenly they saw destroyer near by. WTF? They didnt heard him comming ? How come ? Was sonar man sleeping ?

No. It was just made to create drama. So that scene is not realistic.

And one thing. I dont remember exactly but I think they saw the convoy through binoculars and went full speed ahead emerged or something like that, I cant remember now, but there was something I thought it was not realistic or stupid risky.

Nevertheless I ignore it, and it is still one of my top favorite movies. Thats unquestionable.
