Wow, this is pretty amazing. In 1980, when I was 14 years old, a friend gave me this book, which I still have, called 'Ghostboat'. I've probably read it over a dozen times over the years. This is the book that started my love of the US fleet sub and later, submarines in general. I have amassed quite a collection of submarine related books, videos, models, etc. all because of this book. And now it's amazing to learn that a movie was made from it. I've always daydreamed of this being done. In fact, I always pictured Parnell Roberts from the 'Trapper John, M.D.' tv show in the role of Jack Hardy. Hopefully, it will be released commercially. I can live with the fact that it's on a British sub and not a fleet boat.
