Me too.
Very disappointed with the number of new captains in training who got careless when navigating under water.
Most accidents that caused the loss of boat and/or crew was the result of an unknown under water collision, usually with each other.
Sometimes mechanical failure but most times due to negligence, very similar to the number of car crashes that occur in my area, in spite of the warnings.
It got so bad that Doenitz decreed that anyone found so negligent while in command of a U-boat, was to be court martialed with the utmost severity.
