And once again the freshly baked, first-time captain is the American Hero saving the day and awing the world against the bad, evil Kriegsmarine, which, as we all know, **only** consisted of sadistic Nazis howling over radio like a delirious drunken man while engaging the enemy. Straight historic facts.

And obviously the captain has a soft spot for the coloured cook Cleveland, who tragically parishes in an attack. Except the fact that the navy didn't allow coloured people on their ships until 1948 while this cheap propaganda piece is set in 1942. Except the Kriegsmarine was known to be the least Nazified service in the German war machine.

Why the directors/writers of cheesy sh*t like this always try to rewrite history, I don't know.

Seriously, watch "Das Boot" or "The Enemy Below". Don't waste your time with this garbage.

@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”
