You're right, of course. The scale of the wake makes it obvious its a model, and to get the explosions into the camera's field-of-view every single depth charge is so close that any single one would have cracked the hull and sunk the boat. Personally I would have preferred no underwater shots at all, but someone recently pointed out to me that anyone not familiar with the subject would have no idea what was going on. That's probably true for the rest of our complaints.

On the other hand, though, just having the full-scale interior defining the closeness of the situation...

It's not perfect, but it's close, and to date no-one has made anything better.
