Exactly.
And additionally, if the uboot war is going the way it should, it won't be all Das Boot every time you engage the enemy with people screaming and having break downs and crying. (And anyway, if they are, it reflects very poorly on you as their captain).
Calm, methodical and effective is the most satisfying attitude for captain and crew. If you read the accounts of real submariners (Not Bucheim) they didn't have the luxury of emoting their fears and anxieties, and didn't spend time talking about their chances of being killed. It was a science.
