Check out Hostile Waters…if i recall, it was a pretty good flick with Martin Sheen and Rutger Hauer.

That's industry wide. Few people want to make an actual film anymore.
Last new film that surprised me was "The Highwaymen" (2019).
I think "The Hunt for Red October" (1990) was the first original film about subs since "Das Boot" (1981). Btw, they recently did a remake of "Das Boot" as a German tv series (2018) and I'm part way into ok. So far it's "ok" and might be worth watching. It's on Hulu.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

To those who were actually on such boats … thank you for your service!
Given that 10-shots are a group and 5-shots may be a favorable trend ... know that just one good 3-shot group can make you an instant internet superstar!
On Netflix, check out Sea Power. Lots of sub history there, pretty enlightening.

Do you read? Its difficult for me to watch movies anymore, I much prefer books now. So much more entertaining and suspenseful. I enjoy military thriller novels and although I haven't read one revolving around a submarine yet, I'm sure there are plenty good ones out there.
Some years ago, I toured USS Pampanito, a Balao class boat from WW2 tied up to the dock in SF. It was a very cool experience to say the least. I was struck by the cramped space, with diesel fumes all through the boat. Rocking gently in the bay, I realized if this damn thing sinks, there's no way I'm getting out before I drown like a rat. I can't imagine the testicular fortitude it must have taken to sail one of those across the Pacific, into combat. Thank you all for your service, sincerely.
Lots of U-Boat history over on YouTube.
Thanks for reminding me. Instead of my memory lane exercise, I should have mentioned this one.
