As the title goes do American Subs do Surface Night Atacks, to the convoy's? Sneak past the escorts and unloaded 6 or more torpedos on the targets? Or they only atack submerged?

Other question, don't know if is real. In Torpedo Run, when they rise the attack periscope, the skipper was on his knees almost every time, in other scenes they put the periscope all the way up. So, american subs had 2 positions for the attack scope or a free height control like SH3 (or like u-boats or other subs, correct if wrong).

Final: is historical correct, in march 1942, being ping by japonese destroyers and discovered, when being at silence speed and moving away from the destroyer in a perfect T position, i.e. my sub was bering 270 moving away?
