Go in and Sink! By Douglas Reeman. Arrow; ISBN: 0099097605. 
It is February 1943 and as the balance of the war slowly changes in Britain's favour, Lieutenant Commander Steven Marshall brings his battle-scarred submarine into home port. But if the enemy collapse is to be exploited, Marshall and his men must soon return to the Mediterranean.  Steven Marshall has seen the horrors of submarine warfare first-hand. Now, he's been put in charge of a captured German U-boat, and he and his crew have a top secret mission to fulfill. The catch: the Royal Navy doesn't know he's one of them, and the Germans are trying to figure out why one of their U-Boats is behaving strangely. Marshall has no friends to rely on. More even than the usual submarine commander, he is entirely on his own.
