Trivia

Interesting coincidence that William H Macy, Lauren Holly and the USS Swordfish also appear in "Down Periscope" as well.

The U-429 is a real boat that was made by the Germans in World War II but was transferred to the Italian Navy after being produced. The boat however never saw combat.

The real USS Swordfish was lost with all hands in the waters around Okinawa. The real U-429 was transferred to the Italian Navy (where it was dubbed the S 4), then served as a training boat for the German Navy following Italy's surrender.

Goofs

There was no destroyer named the USS Logan during WWII. The only WWII ship with that name had the designation APA-196 (hull PA-196), which was a Haskell-class attack transport. They were designed to transport 1,500 troops and their combat equipment, and land them on hostile shores with the ships' integral landing craft.

When the radioman of U-821 is calling his CO to the radio booth, he is addressing him with "Herr Kaleu" (short for Kapitänleutnant, a Kriegsmarine Lieutenant Commander). However, the CO is seen having three full stripes on his sleeves, that would make him a Korvettenkapitän (Commander). The proper address would be "Herr Kapitän".

The commander of the destroyer orders the chief to secure the enigma encoding machine and all documents. The commander of a U.S. destroyer during WW II would not know about the enigma encoding machine, as the allies knowledge of enigma was one of the biggest secrets of the war. However, even in the unlikely event that the commander of the U.S. destroyer was privy to this secret, he certainly would not have mentioned it by name over the radio.
