When it comes to submarine films nothing comes close to Das Boot it was just such a great film it is very hard to compete with it.

The problem that any submarine flick is the simple fact that the subject matter is not as appealing to a larger audience.The simple truth is that a film/miniseries about infantrymen or pilots will just attract a larger audience which means more money.

Oh and the Coast Guard serves in more places than just the US coasts they where in Vietnam,WWII and they also have seen a lot of action in the Persian Gulf.In modern times there over seas service is usually inspecting ships in controlled areas some times they get to send pirate vessels to Davy Jones.In WWII they where very busy many Coasties served as boatswain's mates and drove landing craft especially in the Pacific others hunted for German U-boats.In Vietnam they where a part of Operation Market Time.
