This movie is terrible. I decided to stick it out to see if there were any redeeming qualities - there were none. The historical inaccuracies in even the most basic aspects of every thing from surface ship helm orders to the way the UBoats are operated during attacks are simply ... well I was going to say laughable, but I can't even think of laughing at such a terrible film.
Among the most unbelievable aspects is the instantaneous comminations between the USN warships and LANT FLT in Norfolk, which has all operational orders coming from a Commander (O5) with out a Captain or Flag Officer to be seen. Also absent at LANT FLT HQ are any enlisted sailors.
Pass this one by with a wide berth. Simply terrible- embarrassing to say the least.
