Used to play an old game a few decades back called Silent Service and sometimes after an attack I would have to dive the boat and sit it out on the bottom. Needless to say the kids never got picked up from school or the laundry done and the real time feeling of being stalked from above was a lesson in courage. I worked with the crazy dogs a few times in the escape tanks at HMS Dolphin and they certainly earned their coin.
Best film I ever saw concerning their exploits was Das Boot.
