First time I've seen Ducimus being wrong. 'The Enemy Below' is an excellent flick, and looks at both sides of ASW. Kurt Jurgen (German Sub CO) and Robert Mitchem (US Destroyer CO) both play very believable characters in their cat and mouse game.
If you haven't seen it, at least rent it and watch. Its worth the rental fee.
PS, I had to crash dive last night, and listened real close to the sound effects, but still can't hear 'it'. That clip is from U-571.
