Now we are talking WW2 Germany, U-Boat captain were not chosen for there skill, the rest of the crew was, U-Boat captains were chosen and assingned subs via politics, the more advanced the sub was, the dumber the captain would be, most likely chosen because he got married to one of Hitlers relitives or other powerful persons fat/ugly daughter.
The XO knew what he was doing and just followed the captains orders.

Human brain is a fine torpedo clock. 1 knot is very close to 0,5m/s.

.5144_ m/s to be exact. Close enough for government work.

Thanks OS, I did not know that, I'll have to use that more. Cause I love it when everything goes BOOM all at the same time.
