Thanks for great movie, my Dad didn’t like subs very much, signing on in ‘39 I think he served mostly aboard destroyers with a few trips to Russia unfortunately it was on one of those convoys that his ship was sunk fortunately rescued especially as a non swimmer otherwise I wouldn’t be here. He mentioned Icarus which survived until about ‘46 then scrapped. His father served in China during the so-called boxer rebellion also saw action at Jutland Dad told me us Grandfather started with boys time aboard Victory these days I wish I had pressed him for more information......

This movie might not have an in-depth plot line, dialogue, or character development, but when it comes to the technical aspects and operations of the sub and the dedication of a sub crew, it is one of the best submarine movies I have seen. The technical aspects alone make this a move I would watch again.

N76 was HMS Tribune in reality. The filming of this movie is mentioned on her wiki page btw. It ties in nicely with the "this is not the mediterranean" as she had a lot more excitment there
@thegreatdominion9493 сағат бұрын
Oddly HMS Strongbow, which was a real S class submarine, is shown as a T class sub. That suggests the producers only had HMS Tribune to play with for the purposes of making this movie. That being the case, they should have picked another T class name for the other sub.

Fascinating that Brits developed the armoured flight deck, impervious to kamikaze attacks, the angled approach, which allows the Corsair to become a much safer aircraft to land on a carrier deck and finally the angled deck. All developments which of course the US adopted sooner or later.

Nicely done. Real people doing a real job they are trained for. Still, I somehow doubt a U-boat would surface without a sonar check or a look see through the scope. My dad served on one, and we toured U-995 at Laboe. Got a very in depth instructional on just about every piece of gear on the boat.

Wow! That skipper was amazing. He could determine range, speed and bearing of targets just by looking at them. No use of range finders, hydrophones/ASDIC, radar or plot required. He didn't even need to put his sub on a perpendicular course to fire torpedoes at them. Not a bad film though.
@dougerrohmer5 сағат бұрын
Well, he did miss with the torpedoes aimed at the U-Boat. Nice of him to give up a potential target for our sake so he doesn't give away any secret equipment, and he must have had faith in his gun crews.

The swordfish only looks like a "mistake" as it was designed to be a floatplane! Artillery spotting for warships (HMS Hood and HMS Malaya both used Swordfish spotter floatplanes) that could fire but not aim over the horizon.(no radar in the early thirty's) It's rugged design ( designed to take the stress of catapulting, landing in the sea and being winched back on board ship) made it well suited to later adaptation's. The first time you see a swordfish with it's original float's, well, it just looks right. Some great interview's though. Thanks

What a change from the usual HOLLYWOOD DRAMATICS. Played by real NAVAL Personnel who did a good job, with a realistic portrayal. I was initially thinking it would be a typical wartime morale effort for public consumption, but was taken in by the look and feel of the production finding the movie very interesting. Total lack of hype and hysterics yet not stilted as in most Government efforts.

Yes they have. There's been a normalization away from that classic "posh" bbc voice. Its been "uncool" and therefore in decline for at least 50 years. The cockneys and the whole of the cockney area (the docks) and culture has been basically wiped out, by redevelopment and other social factors. Not a fan of Toffs myself, but I do miss "proper" spoken english that you can hear on the bbc archives. Northern accents have remained though.
