You should add it to the Wiki page.

Anyway, I watched Operation Pacific with John Wayne. As in most his movies a lot of real battle footage is used. In the movie they showed several rolling films through a sub scope of merchants being hit...the real stuff, not the fake stuff. I know about taking single camera shots, but not about rolling film from a scope...so.

What caught my attention is there appears to be real rolling film from a sub lens of a large TF, I assume JP, but who knows, but the taker is the following footage through the lens of a possible Kongo and positve Fuso BB.

Anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on this footage. It's show about 1.25 in the movie. Never heard of the sub that filmed this, unless it was transposed to look like it was coming through a sub lense and is actual surface filming.
