Default Movie tactic

ok I just tried something i seen in a movie against a destroyer that was escorting a convoy of four freighters. It was a Minikazi class destroyer. I moving on the surface to get good firing position on a freignter when the destoyer appeared. I turned into him, lined up bow to bow and closed to 3,000 yards at flank speed, dropped to standard at 2,500 feet. I pulled the plug to dive to periscope depth. I transferred data setting from the torpedo bearing device on the bridge to periscope as i dived. once at periscope level we were 1,500 away from each other. at 1,200 i fired a Mk 23 and well it made one hell of a hit and a nice show. The tactic really works.

Now trying to rmember which movie i seen it in:

it was either:
Hellcats of the Navy
Run Silent, Run Deep, or
Operation Pacific

I just can't remember

But those hollywood tactics do work.
