We all know that. My title was a joke. I just wanted to share the cool pictures. Did you even read my post?

I have not seen the movie, so is there a german S-boat in the movie?

No, it was made during the war and they had no access to any German equipment. The so-called Q-ship was played by a model, if I recall correctly.

I saw this thread and thought to myself "Platapus LOVES this movie, cuz it has a love story in it!"

Then I saw this:

Not so much a sub story but a love story and a pretty awful one at that.

Dana Andrews is the Captain of a submarine. Tyrone Power is the new exec.

Dana is engaged to Ann. Tyrone puts the smooth moves on Ann. Why does Ann not tell Tyrone that she is engaged? Because she is a tramp!

Both men are doing the same woman and guess what, they soon find out they are both doing the same tramp. Tensions mount and finally Dana gives the tramp to Tyrone

Thats pretty much the movie.

Oh by the way, there are a few scenes on a Sub.

Friends don't let friends watch "Crash Dive"

I would rather watch U-571.... twice

The first few posts cracked me up. This is why I love Subsim.

As far as a movie made during WWII, than Destination Tokyo without a doubt.

BTW, Mush Morton visited the set during filming.

This flick was used as a motivator in sub school back in the 50's.

Why do people keep arguing, and missing the fact that I was having a joke and showing off some cool pictures.

We all agree that Crash Dive pretty much sucked, which was the point.

Dana Andrews brother was my high school principal in 1959 in Houston, Texas.

This seems the right thread for what brought me here this time. It's a lazy saturday afternoon, and I decided to reach for my DVD shelf and pulled out Red October.
Although I've watched it countless times in the past, only now (the DVD is paused) I noticed a model that looks like a type II. It is 20 minutes into the movie, when Dr. Ryan (Alec Baldwin) goes to the graving docks in Maryland to talk to Skip Tyler. They go back inside some building, and in the background to the right I noticed what really looks like a type II sub model.
Can anyone confirm this?
