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

<HTML>In "The Abyss," the sinking was far from accurate. The rate of flooding would indicate a hull breach at not much deeper than periscope depth. At the depth Montana supposedly collapsed, it would have taken less than a second for the hull to completely fill, and the water would have been preceeded by the compression of all the air in the hull sufficient to incinerate everything (and everyone) in the boat before the water reached them, with all of this happening in a few hundredths of a second.
Despite that, very good movie.
As for "The Spy Who Loved Me," don't blame Ian Fleming. There were no submarines in his book, which mostly took place in an isolated motel in Canada, with Bond romancing the pretty female desk clerk and contending with some gangsters hiding out there.
