The movie has to show the drama of what the submarine did and what it was built to do. Out smart the enemy (kind of like Run Silent Run Deep). Insertion and extraction. Pilot rescue. Fiction like U571, although good entertainment for most, is very painful to watch when you have a good understanding of submarines and uboats. I like the movie, Enemy Below. Pretty good for it's time. Battle of wills between the DD captain and the uboat skipper.
