Watching it currently...I would say it is one of the better US WW II sub films made, even if a little eh hokey at times(was made in early 1950's after all) with the romance angle and all. Great casting though really liked the actor who played "The Chief" aka Chief of the Boat and the Skipper "Pop".

Enjoyed how they worked the missions and actions/events of several subs into the movie...Gilmore's "Take her down !" moment, , ramming the ship, bending the bow back (Growler)is there, a Q/decoy ship, evacuating the nuns, lifeguard duty later in war, finding the fleet as Darter/Dace did in oct 1944, evacuating nuns and children, torpedo malfunctions, and how the were solved, and the rowdy shore leave lol.

Thoughts? Favorite moments? Dislikes?
