Ok, but not historically accurate.

Ok, so people like me (I study WWII) all know about the U-boat. They also will find out this story is ABSOLOUTELY FALSE! One, it was the British, not the Americans (there was never a major naval engagement between Germany and the US, the US was focused on Japan), that captured the enigma machine not once, but twice (it was improved the second time). Also, the U-boat wasn't ambushed during a covert operation, it was depth charged to a point of near sinking, and a British destroyer team recovered it. Also, a sub can't exceed maximum depth without being squashed like a soda can. And no U-boat would have survived being machine gunned, exceeding maximum test depth (look up the Thresher) set on fire twice, shot up from the inside out, taken two direct hits with 12 inch shells, and being depth charged three times. Overall, this movie had action, but PLEASE make it historically accurate!
