U-boat hydrophones don't work on the surface. Not nonsense at all. Also on the surface at full speed the diesels make a lot of noise, so not "complete silence" by a long shot.

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.
Possibly, unless they were out of position, or possibly thought all the destroyers were dealing with boats on the other side of the convoy.

There are several unrealistic things in the movie. You don't mention any of them. Just this one, and you're wrong.
