Yes, me in Silent Hunter II, near the virtual Azores! Ok i used external view but hey, you have to manage things with the tools at hand..
Yeah, it's worth watching as long as you know it cannot be taken seriously.

You'll learn that when the Dirty Dozen show up to train on the u-boat, they are told they will have 3 weeks to learn, and that is viewed as "impossible!"

 
Then a sneak attack by the enemy cuts that short by 2 1/2 weeks.... but somehow they still manage to operate the sub without sinking it and killing themselves.
