The scenes of the U-96 riding the heavy seas on the surface. I rode a fleet boat in December/January 1957- '58 in the Faroe Islands choke point on the surface, and those scenes were just like the mean old North Atlantic in the wintertime. We
regularly experienced 10-degree rolls at a depth of 150'. Snorkeling was a blast,
also. When the OOD and lookouts got below, we ran them into cold showers for a minute so they could warm up, and swill down some hot coffee later.

Our boat was 312' LOA compared to U-96. The sea is still the master!

Regards,
