LOL My Husband HATES that movie. From the dog being on the sub to the line “turn the damn key” to the process of emergency action messages (EAM), of use of launch keys, steel gratings in the missile compartment.......

But watching submarines in movies or TV is tough because they get it so terribly wrong .. He was a submariner for 27 years.

He says that the Hunt for Red October and U 571are the most accurate movies for their time period..

I’ve seen U 571, which is outstanding, but not Hunt, I’ve always missed that one for some reason.

But yes, I can understand where he is coming from.

It the same as me watching movies filmed in and around New Orleans, because it seems like they go out of their way to get every, single thing wrong.
