Speaking of movie morality:
Quote:

Now I look in the periscope and it gives me the distance and the speed.... The machinery turns, the lights flash, and we get the answer. The torpedo runs to its target, and there is no human error in this. They've taken human error out of war.... They've taken the human out of war.

- the u-boat captain (Curt Jurgens)
A sentiment that is still just as valid now as it was then - perhaps moreso.
I also like the subtle humor in having the camera pan, in one of the scenes on the destroyer, from a rated man reading Gibbon's
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire to an officer reading a "Little Orphan Annie" comic book.
