@the_argentinian Typical Yankee B$ too - They didn't guard the convoys. That was left to others, mainly the Royal Canadian Navy and Airforce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Atlantic

@cinebong Although I agree Dunkirk is also a great movie, I think they are quite different.

@strel0k . Calm down. You're about to burst a blood vessel. Lol! And by the way, 1942 is when blacks were allowed on Navy ships to serve. So the movie at least got that right.

@strel0k pretty inacurate. They even had colored officers in 1944<br /> <br /> https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/people---special-topics/african-americans-in-the-navy/african-americans-and-the-navy--wwii.html<br /> <br /> “When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, the Navy's African-American sailors had been limited to serving as Mess Attendants for nearly two decades. However, the pressures of wartime on manpower resources, the good examples of heros like Doris Miller, the willingness of thousands of patriotic men to participate in the war effort plus well-focused political activities gradually forced changes. Though the Navy remained racially segregated in training and in most service units, in 1942 the enlisted rates were opened to all qualified personnel. In 1944, African-Americans' aspirations were further gratified when the Navy commissioned its first-ever officers of their race”
