One thing that bears mentioning is the Do's and Don't's change based on nationality. I think the line between what is true a US Navy Submarine Captain and a Germain Uboat captain is sometimes blured.
The command structure is entirely different in a fleet boat vs a uboat. A US Navy Captain had a Fire control party, and sometimes had his exec man the periscope, who was taking the range, bearing and AOB for him while he focused on the larger picture. For a Kreigsmarine Captain, this was probably unheard of.
