Answer is pretty bad. The film has a night scene aboard a destroyer where the Captain is talking about what they'll do at dawn. One of the hands even has a flashlight with a red filter. Problem is it was filmed in broad daylight.
Course the destroyer they're on in WWII has a top speed of 25 knots and the hydrophone guy doesn't have a headset, guess he just listens over the room's speaker.
The 50 something Nazi captain avoids the destroyer by putting her on the bottom (in the south Atlantic) at just over 300 meters.
At that point I was too crushed to watch much more. I checked the IMDb and the reviews were mostly raves, several for the film's reality.
Maybe later.

Some of the post War movies are funny in a sense. I laughed at the cliché Nazi stereo type. The torpedo launch countdown was goofy too.
I think this would be a good movie for a re-make, since Hollywood can't come up with any new ideas.
