Good plain action, but nothing more...

This is a well done action movie, but nothing more...
Of course I did not expect a historically accurate movie (because it was made in Hollywood), but what I didn't expect was that the entire history of naval warfare in WW2 was rewritten for this movie.
Since everybody has talked about that the Brits captured the Enigma, I don't have to criticize this anymore. We all know that the only historical American effort worth talking about is... well I can't remember... please ask me later...
But there are some other things I want to criticize...
1.) How did the Americans decipher the distress call from the German sub without the Enigma?
2.) Why did the other (submerged) German sub sink the disguised US-sub? The disguise was perfect enough to fool the surfaced German sub.
3.) In WW2 German torpedoes did only work against surfaced targets. How did they sink the other (submerged) German sub?
4.) How can six Americans with no knowledge of German language and German submarine technology handle a BROKEN German sub which was designed for a crew of 50 well trained soldiers?
5.) The Reichsmarine had only large battleships, small cruisers, torpedo-boats or supply-cruisers, they had no destroyers. Also all German Battleships in the Atlantic did sink before 1942. How could the Sub have been attacked by a German destroyer?
6.) Why should a German destroyer chase a German sub?
7.) German Subs did not have any Sonar!
8.) Why should a German sub-crew attack shipwrecked enemies? This would have been a waste of ammo. This sounds harsh but is the truth.
But despite these (and some other points) it is still a well done action movie, but really not more...
