The movie people probably didn't have access to a real u-boat. I saw a WW2 fighter movie a long time ago with P-47s playing themselves and P-51s playing Messerschmitts. And then there was The Hunters, about the Korean War, with F-84Fs playing MiG-15. And don't forget Top Gun, in which Northrop F-5s played modern "MiGs".

Movie folks go with what's handy.
