Haven't read the book yet but just saw the movie tonight. Overall, it was a good film. Heartbreaking moment when the captain had to drop depth charges on top of the men in the water. It'd be nice to see a re-make of this in the near future.
One of the many reasons why this forum rocks; I had never heard of the title until I saw it on the boards. Thanks all for sharing about this. If you get a chance, read SubKiller by Donald Mcintyre (not hi-jacking the thread,just sharing back). He was a DD captain that actually patrolled with Walker a few times. Good for understanding their experiences and the tactics that evolved.
