A real U-boat Captain would have never seen them from the bridge; they were only dropped after the boat had submerged.
The Avenger and Liberator dropped them historically. I believe (without looking) only the Avenger does in NYGM, and that is only the Avenger version supplied with his patch.
If I recall, originally many more planes could drop it because of the way the patch worked but I believe he then changed things so only the Avenger does, but I'd have to look to be sure.
