Military Channel gives slight edge to the type VII over the Seawolf in the top 10...

I think this comes down to the Crews and the subs construction.

They gave the VII a completly elite crew with the best most reliable equipment you could get and the sub itself made from the best material.

They gave the Seawolf a crew made up entirely of untrained High School dropouts, gave the sub nothing but scrap parts and made it entirely from scrap metal scrounged from the local dump.

haha, it was the Stingray. and that was a Balao Class fleet boat in the movie. actually it was the Pampanito.

I think it was all about scare tactics.
go to sea in 1941, oh yeah, you're scared of a type VII popping out and blowing you to smithereens.
go to sea today, the last thing on your mind is the seawolf popping up and blowing you to smithereens.

my point has been made
