Yeah that is a really good film, but I think Das Boot still brings home the sheer claustrophobic terror of being stuck in a cigar tube under water better...Maybe being written and produced in Germany puts something into it about the whole futility of war....Certainly going to Trinity Square to the size of the memorial to Merchant Marine brings home the lives lost at sea...Not that I'm some lefty anti war person....
After I watched K19 I read up about it and that was one unlucky boat. Poor buggers
