My question is . . . is this a realistic and/or historical tactic? I know night surface attacks are, but were there ever instances where U-boats stayed submerged only to abruptly surface once in attack range?
IMHO that is very much unrealistic, a kaleun would not heighten the chances of losing the element of suprise prior to launching his initial attack.
