"Greyhound" is a destroyer's perspective. This is a submarine's perspective. It is interesting to compare. Those who are interested can mix and edit a "Tom Hanks Sea Battle Matthew McConaughey". The problem of this is the problem of the anti-German drama. ,too fake

I remember watching it with my dad before. The second time (maybe the Nth time) was in the master bedroom of the old house. My dad insisted that it was a movie I had never seen, but I actually watched it together. Many times. He is really really cute

Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren: You're a first rate X.O., Andy. A damn good submariner. I know the men like you.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: I'd give my life for any one of them, sir.
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren: I know you would. I'm not questioning your bravery. The question is: what about their lives? You and Mr. Emmett are good friends. You went to the Academy together. Would you be willing to sacrifice his life? Or what about some of the younger enlisted men? I know a lot of those guys look up to you like a big brother. You willing to lay their lives on the line?
[Tyler hesitates to speak]
Lt. Commander Mike Dahlgren: You see? you hesitate. But as a captain, you can't. You have to act. If you don't, you put the entire crew at risk. Now that's the job. It's not a science. You have to be able to make hard decisions based on imperfect information. Asking men to carry out orders that may result in their deaths. And if you're wrong, you suffer the consequences. If you're not prepared to make those decisions, without pause, without reflection, then you've got no business being a submarine captain.

Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: [whispering] Tank, you alive back there?
Seaman Charles 'Tank' Clemens: Yes, sir.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Good. Port ahead two-thirds.
Seaman Charles 'Tank' Clemens: Port ahead two-thirds. Aye, sir.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: [pulls out paper] Tank... can you fix the stern tube?
Seaman Charles 'Tank' Clemens: I don't know, Mr. Tyler.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: I don't want an "I don't know." Can you fix the torpedo tube? Yes... or no?
Seaman Charles 'Tank' Clemens: Yes, sir. I think I can.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Thank you, Tank. Chief, make depth 1-6-0 meters.
Chief Klough: That's more than five hundred feet.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Take us down, Chief.
Chief Klough: Aye, sir. One-six-zero meters. Twenty degrees dive both planes.
Eddie, Seaman Ronald 'Rabbit' Parker, Torpedoman: Twenty degrees dive, aye, sir.
Eddie: Mr. Tyler, sir, uh, do you plan on going up against a destroyer with only one fish in the tube and busted motor?
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Yes, I am, Eddie.
Lt. Hirsch: How wise is that, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Not very. But have a look. Chief.
[while speaking, drawing and showing Chief and Hirsch plan on paper]
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: There is no way a two-knot submarine can get in firing position against a thirty-knot destroyer unless we go deep. At one hundred sixty meters, we can shoot out a bunch of junk from the forward tubes. It will resurface and create a debris field. Now the destroyer's going to go to the center of that debris field, shut off its engines to make it real nice and quiet and do an acoustic search to make sure we're dead. But we're not. See, we're here, on our way up to periscope depth. All right, principle of ascent velocity. We let our positive buoyancy pull us up and away from the destroyer. And when we surface we'll be showing it our ass at seven hundred yards. That is a pefect setup for a stern shot on a stationary target. Boom. It don't get much prettier than that.
Chief Klough: All right, Mr. Tyler. Passing 1-3-0 meters.
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: Very well. Rabbit, I need you to load Mazzola's body into tube three and put an escape jacket on him to make sure he floats.
Seaman Ronald 'Rabbit' Parker, Torpedoman: Wanna shoot him out like garbage?
Lieutenant Andrew Tyler: [pause; slowly turns around] His body is gonna save our lives.
Seaman Ronald 'Rabbit' Parker, Torpedoman: I'll say a few words for him.
