This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Hello J.T.
Have been viewing "The Enemy Below" after recovering it from my "loaned to friends and not returned" file.
In so doing, I returned to the "forum" for an update before I post my comments on
"The Enemy Below".
I noticed your statement "... a bulkhead hatch is a bulkhead hatch, and........."
There are no "bulkhead hatches" on subs or Naval vessels. They are called
watertight doors. Generally, a hatch is used for vertical ingress or egress to a compartment or trunk on a Naval vessel. Even the submarine torpedo tubes have inner and outer doors, not hatches.
There are also ceilings on some maritme vessels........
A large square or rectangular hatch is used to allow large equipment, personnel,
torpedoes, bombs, rockets and aircraft engines to be stored below. Some have
a "scuttle" or "booby hatch" in their centers to allow personnel pasage, minimizing loss of warertight integrety during combat conditions.
I've seen many "corner-cutting" examples in this "B" movie and will produce a list shortly, to be fair to "DAS BOOT" discrepancies I posted earlier on this Forum.
The producers, in most countries, do the same thing, 'cause it's a business venture
that we all love to watch and criticize. :-))</HTML>
