Next question: What is the name of the underwater rock formation that Capt. Ramius uses to avoid a torpedo in The Hunt for the Red October?

5 fired total in Das Boot; Prochnow's character, the old man, fires none even though he 'takes the helm'; all are fired by the officer on the UZO and launched by the torpedo officer or crewman. Four at the convoy: two hit; # three misses or fails "out of time" and a fourth?? is heard hitting presumably the tanker, in mid crash dive, which after six hours following a depth charge attack, U-96 surfaces and fires a fifth eel (fangschuss) into the burning tanker only to discover there are survivors aboard; again here, as is proper procedure on the surface, the 1st officer on the UZO sights and commands the firing of the eel. I have enough prizes- please bestow on a worthy fellow kaleun
