<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bouley/55003397846/" title="U-Boat 405 Collison"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55003397846_f625a2660b_m.jpg" width="240" height="189" alt="U-Boat 405 Collison" /></a></p>

<p>On November 1, 1943, U-Boat 405 was engaged by the destroyer USS Borie (DD-215). The destroyer initially fired depth charges, after which U-405 came to the surface. USS Desroyer Borie then rammed U-405. No German survivors were ever recovered by either side; all 49 crewmen of the U-Boat 405 were lost. USS Destroyer Borie lost three officers and 27 crew members, and was too badly damaged by the collision to be towed to port. The next day, her crew was ordered to abandon ship and she was sunk<br />
<br />
Prompt: Use Image 1 as the single base reference. Create a historically grounded WWII naval combat scene depicting the German U-Boat 405 at the exact moment it is rammed broadside by the U.S. Navy destroyer &quot;DD-215&quot;, in the Pacific Ocean on November 1, 1943. Preserve the submarine’s identity, proportions, hull details, conning tower, deck fittings, and overall likeness from Image 1. Introduce the destroyer entering from the side at close range, its bow colliding into the U-boat’s midsection with correct scale and perspective. Show a vivid, colorful explosion at the impact point with fire, sparks, smoke, twisted metal, highly-dramatic, and massive seawater spray, all physically plausible for WWII-era steel ships. Set the environment in rough seas with large rolling waves, whitecaps, and turbulent water interaction around both vessels. Lighting should be natural daylight with cinematic contrast, matching reflections and shadows across metal and water. Style the image as ultra-realistic digital fine art, extremely high detail, sharp focus, clean textures, no noise, no grain. Use an ultra-wide camera view with a horizontal aspect ratio, dramatic composition, and 4K-level clarity, ensuring realism holds at 200% zoom.<br />
