So there I was browsing the internet for some form of entertainment when I arrived at the CBS website. I noticed they had some old star trek episodes (old trekkie and seen them to many times to count) so I browsed threw a few and remembered this one where they had a lot of ship to ship combat.
Star Trek - The Original Series
Balance of Terror
Episode 14
After attacking an outpost, Romulans battle the Enterprise
Doing some other activities at the same time I had the episode running and was drawn into it. As I watched this episode again I begin to realize where they got the plot from…submarine warfare. The Enterprise is the Destroyer and the Romulan ship is the sub. Heck they even disposed of a body in the tubes with debris to throw off the Enterprise. As the enterprise attacks from a distance it reminded me of depth charges being used. The Romulan ship seemed under powered but had that one big weapon that could take them out (torpedo anyone?)
Just found it interesting now after all these years to see the comparison.
