After making an attack they placed the flag when they came to the surface ??

Very dramatic.and well executed diorama. I think you should have added a bit more debris and at least one boat in the water with survivors. I would go back and add some black to the water to depict ruptured oil tanks on the sunken vessel
No, no flag. They generally only flew it when they were entering or leaving home port

I like it and Blaster beat me to:

Would an oil slick be a new tecnique?
