"Crimson Tide"

Thought submarine movies were your thing.

I will not usually watch war movies of any description. The exception being "Das Boot". I knew it was in a "staged" submarine, whereas other war films look too realistic. I also like "The Hunt for Red October" and "Crimson Tide". Are there any other good ones in submarines?

When I was in Goteborg, Sweden, there was a Maritime Museum. One of the exhibits was a submarine which you could explore. I found it fascinating.

You will have to imagine the umlaut over the o, in Goteborg, cos when I do the alt + thingy, it takes me to the top of the previous page.

There is a captured U-Boat at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. You can walk through it. They sailed it into Lake Michigan, and laid some railroad tracks from the shore to the area where it now sits, I think.
For old submarine movies, I can recommend several.
Run Silent, Run Deep
The Enemy Below
Destination Tokyo
The Hunley
Up Periscope
Down Periscope
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Yellow Submarine
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
On the Beach
Ice Station Zebra
Torpedo Run

If I get a chance sometime, I'll try and go through the U-Boat at the Museum of Science and Industry, and report back.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Oh, this is new. It used to just sit outside, next to the building, but now it has a sub pen, like St. Nazaire.

I'm hoping when I get there I don't just spazz out completely.

Morning!

Are we all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed this morning?

Raring and ready to go?

No?

Me neither.....
