Even the later war SD could get outraged by a watchmen with good MK.1s and some binoculars.

You can write what you want I suppose but most folks who are into WWII subs are wishing for realism in a movie and less Hollywood there have been tons of very Hollywood sub flicks.
I haven't edited for realism yet. It is of paramount importance - but currently I'm just getting a good story line going.

And - from what I've heard - regulations weren't always followed so strictly - particularly with the submarines ("it was a different war for them")

It will be later found out that Neil is the Chief Engineer, and that the narrator is the navigation officer
