I watched this as a kid in 1970. Father was retired from that era, and I was a real patriotic air force brat! Now it's becoming ancient history, and all that served in that war are all but gone.😢 (RIP) I wish we could have held on to that once proud America.

Counting the USS Sculpin and still on patrol are 52 boats with their 374 officers and 3,131 men. God Bless Them, RIP.

What a selfless sacrifice for this country. We won the war because of men like those. RIP. 🇺🇲

My step-dad was on a destroyer in the Caribbean early in the war and they had the dubious distinction of being torpedoed by an Italian submarine. They didn’t sink and made it back to port, but my step-dad lost a good friend and would’ve died himself if he hadn’t of been on deck having a smoke. All gave some and some gave all. God Bless them. 🙏

No words can express the courage and patriotism displayed by Captain Cromwell. This was humbling to watch.

@@thekingsilverado3266 While I share the view that Biden has been a horrible President and almost without question party to maybe the most egregious corruption in US political history, I also feel it’s critical we follow due process in running this to ground. History ultimately sees only facts so it’s important we remain methodical in the process, the truth will shine through with time.

It takes extreme bravery to take on a destroyer with only the 5 inch deck gun.

I had an aunt who lost her fiancé in a B-17 over Europe. She was never the same after getting the tragic news broken to her. A heartbreak that hung around her neck like a millstone through the decades after the war. She passed away a couple years ago at 94. I hope she has once again found the happiness that she had lost.

I was the paper boy at pearl in the mid 60s. I had access to every ship in harbor. I always asked the officer of the day on every ship in port what their movie was. And they would ask me what ships were good at the softball fields and what were easy wins. My favorite was watching movies on subs. I would straddle a torpedo and they would bring me five gallons of ice cream. They would allow me in the escape tower and tech me ocean survival. Where I would go to the Marine barracks pool and teach Marines survival for 50cents. Some I had to teach how to swim first.

Many of the crew interactions and the commands from the skipper are mostly authentic. But the problem is, this submarine would have shot back many times. They would have been firing torpedoes when they had the opportunity. It seems like this movie just makes it seem like they're out there cruising around to be a target for the Japanese

It's a short video and they don't have time to tell the entire story. They gave up the battle scenes to tell about the individual sailors.

If information is so incredibly delicate. Then there's no choice but to decide to take it downwards where it can do no harm. I've heard a lot of these stories and few have impressed me more.. The story of the Pampamito's efforts is one, The S38 is another. This counts as the third.

Many servicemen were routinely exposed to 'RDX' explosive, a substance that's highly-toxic in very low concentrations and which is very long-lasting. Ingestion can lead to nervous-system damage. There may well be ongoing RDX pollution of local water-supplies around munitions plants and military bases but that's something you won't get to read about. RDX and similar substances have been around since WW2 and millions of people must have been casually handling them.

It is crying shame. No it is criminal those brave men for so long went to sea/war with faulty torpedoes. Navy brass for too long blamed the skippers when they knew full well the misses, duds and predetonation was the fault of the designers.
