the U-boat would've been subjected to an immediate hailstorm of 6 inch fire from the Battleship secondaries, tho...and a maremagnum of light fire too. But I doubt they'd have even tried to point those massive guns towards a submarine.

Actually, this DOES happen. Battleships will engage you and other ships with everything they've got, including secondaries.
One time I was making a mission with stationary battleships all around my sub to test out torpedo power. Unfortunately, I failed to realize that I hadn't made my sub submerged. The instant the mission begins I get a "we're under attack!" message. I climb up to the bridge to see the searchlights of the King George V, Nelson, and Revenge battleships all trained on me, and a second later they all open up with their secondaries. Soon they've rotated their main batteries into position, and kill me instantly. Ouch.
