On a very clear day, you can see the superstructure of another ship above the horizon with binoculars at 15 NM or ~28km. That being said, how much you can see all depends on your height of eye above the surface. I can't imagine a Type VII could have been much more than 5m or so. That would give you a distance to the sea horizon of 8km. Anything further than that would start to dip below the horizon.
