Re: "drive-by"
Just speculation on my part, but in other shots we can see U-Boat surfacing in front of the destroyer, and in other, a destroyer narrowly avoiding "down the throat" torpedo shot. In the movie it could go like this - badly damaged in DC attack, U-boat can't keep submerged anymore and blows ballast just as destroyer returns for another attack. This gives U-boat opportunity for last ditch attempt at torpedoing the DD, which fails (but succeeds in providing audience with edge-of-the-seat thrill in the final battle) and then DD just continues forward passing extremely close to now helpless U-boat while ravaging it with artillery. |
