Intriguing action film, but low real US Navy identity

As a retired USN Master Chief I found the action scenes to be interesting and entertaining but was not convinced that the actors made their audience believe that they were submariners, or even- sailors. I know that a sailor would never get away with direct disobedience of an Officer's order as Palladino did without severe consequences during WWII. The underwater scenes were weak and the models just passable. Must not have had a real submariner for Technical Adviser....be I did get the feeling that the leaky, squirting episodes represented the condition of an old boat. The German sailors, on the other hand, seemed more realistic. For that matter, I doubt that the US Sailors could have put up much of an offense.

Anecdotes
The caption before the end credits, detailing the fact that the Royal Navy captured the first Enigma machine, was only added after an outcry in Britain, where it was believed that Hollywood was trying to claim the credit for the Americans (whose forces captured no German Naval Enigma material until 1944).

Gaffes
At the beginning of the movie when the U-571 is under depth charge attack from the British destroyer, the order is given to surface the sub due to damage. When they surface, the Captain reports "All clear!" and orders lookouts to the bridge. What happened to the British destroyer that was just attacking them? It should have still been nearby and would have seen them surface.

Citations
Chief Klough: You're the skipper now. And the skipper always knows what to do whether he does or not.

Versions alternatives
At least one version of the theatrical release contained no subtitles for the opening scene aboard the German submarine. This was possibly to increase dramatic effect, placing emphasis on the acting and visuals rather than the dialogue.
