@ Carl Lyons!!

Welcome to the Sub Forums...a Free source for advisors/consultants, all full of enthusiasm.

Did you get my PM (Private Message) with some recommendations on how to get authentic WWII era dialog, terminology, Submarine procedures, etc? That will be Key to providing authenticity in your movie. Often it is the use of a term, in aviation flicks, such as "Lock On" before that term had ever been 'used/created' in real life, which immediately destroys a Korean or WWII era movie's credibility.

The resource I recommended in my PM would be extremely useful to you and your Screenwriter, in that regard. Even a recent retiree from the USN, born in, say, the early 1960's is unlikely to be expert on the language/terminology/slang/procedural steps employed in submarine tactics/life in the 1930's/1940's.

Looking forward to a great movie from you and your Crew.
