Naval Assault: The Killing Tide is the one you're looking for. I bought it, almost threw my xbox out the window. It was promptly returned to the store. Terrible game.

You don't know the half of it. I wouldn't get it again if somebody paid me.

I wonder why they did not just call it the U-234 and use Johann-Heinrich Fehler's name as the Captain?

Anyone ever watch Destination Tokyo with Cary Grant as the sub skipper ?
At the conclusion of the movie he torpedoes a Jap carrier, none other that a 1930 version of Akagi, with 3 decks. Then on the way home assists with a apendectomy on a sick sailor. But I love those old flicks. |

While perusing the patrol reports of US subs (via Hyperwar website) I found that Navy Pharmacist Mates actually did perform appendectomies several times. It was only done as last resort, though.
When I was a young fellow my favorite sub movie was "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" with Walter Pidgeon, Arlene Francis, Barbara Eden and Michael Ansara. Great fun and a good sci-fi film. AD |

Bought USS Seaviper from Amazon. Waste of money, bad acting and no real story

I am so glad no one called Fantastic Voyage a bad sub movie! I was waiting in baited breath for it to be uttered.

Worst Submarine movie? No clue. Top three favorite? Operation Pacific Crimson Tide Operation Petticoat. They painted the sub PINK! |

It wasn't a sub movie at all. Pure sci-fi, and not bad for the time.

Red October
Yes, the book was sooo much better. The movie was entertaining but I found the underwater shots of the US sub following the Russian sub almost laughable they were so close.

Full Fathom Five was/is by far the worst sub movie I've personally seen. I walked out of the theater after about 30 minutes.
