Finishing a target on the surface was something a U-Boat did to a merchant ship. No U-Boat would dare surface in the presence of even a heavily damaged destroyer escort as shown in the final battle. Even damaged as shown, most of the escort's weapons would still be operational (no electricity was required) and extremely deadly to a U-Boat. All of the situations in which U-Boats fought significant warships while surfaced during the war were when caught on the surface and unable to safely dive, or when too damaged to remain under water.
