I read an utterly awful Douglas Reeman novel (which, after a couple more attempts, seemed to be a redundant phrase) about the Surcouf's sister sub, loose in the Pacific with a British crew who single-handedly sank what appeared to be the entire Japanese Navy.

Seriously...even SH IV war patrol kill lists look paltry next to what those fellas did.

Some silliness in there about the XO and CO after the same woman...which also occured in the other two Reeman novels I had the tenacity to read.

For movies? Full Fathom Five. I probably don't have to say anything else.
