Yes, as submerging with ammo loaded would ruin it. And in answer to your question, amongst other bothersome things like "reality" and "historical accuracy", the director of U-571 couldn't be bothered to learn that they used recognition codes with signal lamps. As soon as the sub didn't return the recognition code, she would have been blown out of the water.
