I'm a great fan of star trek, but I ain't no trekkies ´cause I have not that much knowledge about the actors, the things in the series. I just love the series

TOS
TNG
Voy
DS9

Down near the bottom of the site I linked are a couple of statements to that effect, which was the reason for the link in the first place.
They also give links saying that Run Silent, Run deep may have been an inspiration as well.

One quote that I find fascinating:

You are right and I'm sure others could make similar points as well. The books are usually better than the movie. I read the Tom Clancy Book " the Hunt for Red October which a number of Subsim members have said is one of their favorite Submarine movies. Although the movie was well produced and also one of my favorites, It leaves out a lot of details and the dynamics of the title characters. That's to fit the movie into a standard 2-3 hour movie. I thought the book was excellent and apparently others did too as it spent time on the best sellers list.

If you get a chance to watch " The enemy below " do so as most believe the movie to be a fairly accurate representation of war at sea. You won't be disappointed.


I missed the links so I will just go with it. The connection to the depth charges and the star trek " proximity torps is valid as well. I never saw the links you referenced but was fairly sure there was a connection between this Star Trek episode and the movie even if there were no links. Thanks for posting the links though because now I know for sure.

If you enjoy watching it, that's all that matters. :) You are in good company.

That's interesting. I've not conversed with anyone before who had read the book and not seen the movie. The Wiki link has some interesting comparisons. I also read, a long time ago, a reviewer who said he thought the movie was better than the book. In any case, I would highly recommend seeing the movie. It's what made me choose the navy when the time came to enlist, and it's what made me choose destroyers over any other ship when I was given that option.

I also apologize for dragging this further and further from Star Trek. My fault.

Honestly, I want to see it. I keep catching it on TV about halfway through, so I've seen the end.


I happened to find a copy in a used bookstore. It was in horrible condition, and was falling apart as I read it. I didn't need a bookmark, I just kept the portion I hadn't read yet.

It's been a few years, but I remember I found the book to be a bit heavy on the side of "Man, those Nazis are evil, not like us good Brits." Kind of like some of the WWII movies I have seen that were made during the war. It had a real good guy vs. bad guy jingoism to it that took away from the story.


It's Subsim. Anything to do with submarines is on topic, isn't it? :03:


Edit:
Ok, Star Trek content.
I grew up with the original series reruns in the '80s, before TNG.
Starting Thursday until early Monday morning, one of the cable channels was running TOS. My 12-year-old spent most of his free time watching it. He's become a new fan.
I amazed him by walking into the room, and naming the episode that was currently playing within a few seconds. I think I missed one the whole time. (I knew which one it was, but I couldn't think of the title.)

:haha:

Yes that's the title. :)

I'm not a big fan of Star Trek these days.

Sadly the movie was much better than the book, in my opinion.
