Great movie. I've got tht one on DVD. I also have:

Run Silent, Run Deep (can't have a fleet boat movie collection without that one)

Up Periscope (lots of great fleet boat footage around the deck and conning tower)

U-571 (yeah, OK, I know, but at least there's an S-boat, sort of...)

Hell Cats of the Navy (with Ronald Reagan)

Operation Pacific (staring the Duke)

My favorite? Probably a tie between Run Silent, Run Deep and Up Periscope. The skipper in Up Periscope is sort of an anti-hero, by the book man, and comes across as a real person trying to balance command responsibility and adherence to orders with the morale of his crew.
