** The U-Boat/destroyer duel. Even though this seems unrealistic due to that a destroyer would outgun a submarine, destroyer-vs-submarine duels actually did occur on one or two real-life occasions. The movie's duel, while based on an event in the book, seems to have been inspired by a real-life clash on November 1st, 1943 between the ''USS Borie'' and ''U-405'', in which the ''Borie'' tried to ram the U-Boat when a wave caused it's bow to come down on top of the U-boat, which trapped both ships. The U-boat was too close for the destroyer's guns, so the crew members had to use rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns to return fire, resulting in the sinking of ''U-405'', while the ''Borie'' was badly damaged and scuttled the following day.
*** And there was also a similar duel between ''HMCS Assiniboine'' (escorting Convoy SC 94) and ''U-210'' on the 6th August, 1942.

Since they don't have room to carry bodies for any length of time, he orders an immediate burial at sea. The three bodies are draped in American flags as the crew gathers on deck, the ship slows to a stop, the bell is rung and one by one the names are read and the bodies are dropped overboard accompanied by a TwentyOneGunSalute. The event is marred slightly when the body of Mess Mate George Cleveland, Krause's personal steward, gets caught on the flag, and has to be shaken loose.
