Run silent, run deep....is unfortunately very old, even if it was a remarkable piece of achievement. Hollywood..uhm...let's not talk about it. I'm sure that a Hollywood movie about Pacific submarine war..would be something like...an american sub gets crippled while charging 20 japanese destroyers on the surface,,,,it manages to sink half of them with the deck gun and AA's....half of it's crew dies heroically...then it dives to the bottom...DC's....more crew dies....only one man survives (Steven Seagal maybe)....and he manages to surface the boat all by himself....he mans all the stations in turns.....aims and launches the last working torpedo...which hits the biig tanker in the convoy...the whole sea explodes, destroying the remaining ten destroyers and half of japanese merchants navy....and he returns home....entering the harbour saluting, and with the cigar in his mouth.
