Very realistic. Read Admiral Richard O'kane's (I think that's his name) book Clear the Bridge (again - I think that's it - been about 15 years or so since I read it and about 20 since the first time I read it). He commanded the USS Tang in WWII and was XO for one of the more famous skippers before that (I think the Wahoo and Mush Morton). Diving during the day in enemy held waters was the rule - not the exception.
