One exception (though I don't know as I was never in a doomed Uboat) could be if the Karleun knew that the inevitable was about to happen and perhaps ordered that it be played anyway?

I've often wondered about that. I can imagine the request: Play something upbeat and buoyant! Tutti Frutti or something!
