Bungo Straits you're talking about. I was confused about what he was talking about too.

Egan, I did mention "The Enemy Below"- I seem to remember it having two different endings. One where both the sub and the DD are destroyed as the captains salute one another, and a different one where the US capt helps the German capt evacuate his sub with a wounded sailor. Or am I completely insane?
I wasn't aware there were two endings for this movie! I have a copy of the one where the wounded sailor is helped off the boat. Both vessels are destroyed when the U-boat's scuttling charges go off. Movie ends with both captains on the fantail of another US warship.
I would like to see this other version with an alternate ending.
That is a little closer to the real-life incident, where both DD and U-boat went to the bottom. Although in real life none of U-405's crew survived, and about half of the DD crew lived..
