Good question, I don\'t have a good answer for you.
Earlier in the war, U-boats were not equiped with AA guns. Later they were and at one point had orders to stay on the surface and try to fight it out but this order was later recinded because it was ineffective.
I heard that some personnel manning the deck gun were injured because they forgot to remove the plug at the end of the barrel.
