Despite the thread topic, I won't comment on "Greyhound", as everything has been said already and I agree with the majority of comments.
I too found "The Cruel Sea" to be exceptional and enjoyed the part where the U-boat was hiding under the men in the water and the decision made to attack. You don't find too many films these days that deal with the hard realities of war, unfortunately.
Another decent, somewhat obscure and hard to find film is "Of Sharks and Little Fish". It portrays a sailor's life in the Kriegsmarine aboard ship and later transferred to U-boats. I understand from those more knowledgeable than I, it is a pretty accurate depiction of what life was really like for the average sailor onboard.
