This reminds me of the movie THE ENEMY BELOW (Robert Mitchum, Curt Jurgens) based on the novel and was the inspiration for STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN's duel between the two starships.

Re: Navy destroyer lands on top of U-boat
It still happens. An Echo II hit the Garcia-class frigate USS Voge in the Med in 1976. I was in STS A school in 1977, and remember seeing this photo from the newspaper posted in the classrooms. It made quite the impression on me.
