Doenitz actually referred to his submariners as his "grey wolves". So the reference to the uboats and their sailors as wolves can be historically justified.
I have never read anything from or about Lockwood referring to his submariners as anything other than his "boys". Perhaps some of our members with real world experience could enlighten us.
