Best Submarine Captain!

bstanko6 · 11-03-20, 11:48 AM

In light of losing a Sean Connery and a great sub captain from The Hunt for Red October...

Let's do a poll!

Who was the greatest sub commander in film according to Subsim?

I also threw in a historical character as well!

Have fun

1) Marco Ramius Hunt For Red October
2) Old Man Das Boot
3) Nemo 20K Leagues under the sea
4) Glass Hunter Killer
5) Ramsey Crimson Tide
6) Hunter Crimson Tide
7) Bridger Seaquest DSV
8) Richardson Run Silent Run Deep
9) Tyler U-571
10) Dodge Down Periscope
11) Bushnell Turtle Historical
12) Mancuso Hunt for Red October USS Dallas
13) Vostrikov K19 Widowmaker

Agreed!

But add Marco Ramius!

I figured I would forget a good commander.

I have to vote for Bushnell!
If it wasn’t for him taking a run at the British... We wouldn’t have submarines to make movies about!

Well... if yer goin' archaic, ya gotta go with Lt. George E. Dixon and the CSS Hunley! ca 1864

He and his crew showed the concept worked sinking a Union ship USS Housatonic, killing five crewmen;...the 'third times the charm' as the submersible's first two crews had died testing the vessel;...and it's extremely dangerous!

Lauren Holly was in that movie, and that makes the best movie ever to be made.

les green01 · 11-07-20, 12:49 AM

yes she is hot and she did a lot for the uniform

You forgot Nelson (Basehart): Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

^Ignorant bugger! this is a best Captain thread; not best Admiral thread.

David Hedison played Capt. Crane while i played with my beloved Remco "Barracuda" Submarine on the den floor!! No Pervetan ration for you! BBY

Cary Grant in Operation Petticoat and in Destination Tokyo; and Curd Jurgens in The Enemy Below.... (except for Ramius and the Old Man, numers one and two).

Regards.
