U-571 Accuracy

<HTML>Hello:

I am 17 and a big fan of naval history, comes from watching old war movies with my mother. I\'ve noticed a lot of outspokeness about the accuracy(or lack there of) in the movie U-571. I enjoyed the movie myself, though the underwater combat I felt was a tad \"hokey\". Just for my own advancement in knowledge what other in-accuracy\'s are in the film? I\'m no expert but I tried to pick out a few, correct me if I\' m wrong:

German destroyer in middle of Atlantic.

German destroyer doesn\'t look like a Maass class.

Hunt for Red October like underwater comabat.

The machine gunning of the British survivors(this I found disturbing, but recently on this website I read about the Laconia Incident).

Land based aircraft screening the destroyer.

What others where in the movie?

For Christmas I received Das Boot, I have always heard it was good and greatly enjoyed it.
