If you don´t attack you´ll probably be sentenced to death at home for cowardice - this is what happened to a few U-Boat commanders in WW2. We shouldn´t glorify Mr Dönitz and the BdU - it all began based on comradeship and a kind of "brotherhood" feeling, but when the war got harder, the distance between Dönitz and his men grew. In the end, when the allies invaded the beaches of Normandy, he even ordered them to ram (!) any allied ship, which meant suicide or kamikazee.

Just an afterthought,

cheers, AS
