Did this ever happen? (RSRD)

Watched a video on youtube and youtube suggested Run Silent Run Deep. I have the movie, a digital copy, and dvd actually lol but when movie is right there for free, I am transiting to patrol area Corn Field off Palau from Pearl, so long voyage, I figured why not.

(link to movie)

Anyways about the 26:00 mark, crew member is on deck dumping trash just as dive alarm sounds during drill. Naturally, he hurriedly scurries up to the bridge to get below but hatch shuts and crew member is locked out as boat submerged furiously pounding on the hatch, but is forced to climb into the lookout nest on the periscope shears, which are partially submerged before boat stops diving and surfaces, thanks to alert XO (Lancaster), who heard the knocking.

Just wondering if , like many things that are incorporated into the sub movies, this really happened?

I know of the BARB, Ensign Teeters was left on the bridge in November 1944 off Sasebo, he knocked and uttered "Hey! Let me in!" lol. However, that was not nearly as close of a call as in the movie.

I know some of of the men lost during war, simply disappeared after surfacing, fell overboard etc. but again, wondering if any incidents happened as portrayed in the movie. I am not aware of any, but even with in depth research have conducted, plenty of stories am not aware of I am sure, perhaps others are.

Thanks in advance
