Interestingly, the Hollywood movie industry, after its then self regulatory custom, heavily censored the chiefly directed at US audiences 1942 British WWII propaganda film about the then ongoing Battle of the Atlantic "In Which We Serve", directed by and starring Noel Coward.

Terribly bad show, old boy!
