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

FYI, the following U.S. submarines operated in the Atlantic:
USS BARB (SS-220), USS BLACKFISH (SS-221), USS HERRING (SS-233),
USS USS SHAD (SS-235), USS GUNNEL (SS-253), USS GURNARD (SS-254),
USS REDFISH (SS-395) operated out of Roseneath, Scotland, where the submarine tender USS BEAVER (AS-5) carried the flag of SUBRON 50.
Most of these boats participated in "OPERATION TORCH" the preparation for
the invasion of North Africa, where the French navy got their asses kicked hard. The USS HERRING sunk the French 5,700-ton cargo ship VILLE DU HAVRE.
These boats returned to Scotland to conduct anti-U-boat patrols; then they weree sent to the Pacific to wreak havoc on Japanese shipping.
