2. That might work both ways. How would you like to be returning from patrol and end up sunk by your own ships when they mis-identify you?
How often did that happen in reality? Zero? "

Actually it did happen. One example was the USS Seawolf, which was sunk by the D.E, USS Rowell, after having been mistakenly bombed and marked by a US Navy plane.
Another example was the USS Nautilus which, after a shelling, noticed that one of the shells that hit her was a dud, bearing US markings.
There were several other incidents.
