Doesn't get much more authentic than that

The Pampanito sight is so fantastic. The War Patrol Reports are so informative. What really blew my mind was that the US Subs could communicate on the surface during attacks using their UHF Radar. This seems to me to indicate that US Navy Wolfpack attacks were more coordinated than those of their German counterparts.

If you guys ever make it to the beautiful city of San Francisco, you should definitely visit the Pampanito and the Liberty Ship Jeremiah Obrien.
