Read "His Majesty's U-Boat," by Douglas Reeman.   There was a 
movie about the idea, in the early 50s (I think).    Those special
effects
were pretty cheap: the "u-boats" were models of British T-class 
boats.   On the other hand, there aren't many movies about British
submarines.

I'd like to see a documentary about the capture and operation of
the U-570, which really did happen.   If I hit the lottery, let's talk
about that.

Want to write a novel about it? 

Speaking of the British, do they ever build psubs?   I see a lot of
Americans
and Germans, but the rest of the world appears under-represented.
Or is that just my impression?
