Greyhound 2020 Scene | Tom Hanks Movie | U-Boat destroyed.

This was such a tense movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Tom Hanks is an amazing actor. He is so believable.

My grandpa was an Ensign on an escort destroyer in the Atlantic. To imagine he would've been trained for encounters like this is incredible.

So a U-boat could release a few canisters of oil to make the enemy believe it was destroyed?

I served on two frigates (or, destroyer escorts) which did the same job hunting subs as that Fletcher DD in the film. The language used in command and control of the ship sounds exactly the way we had done it back in the 1980s.

CGI will never compare with a Real Depth Charge Explosion

While the ship portrayed in the film was fictional, Tom Hanks really pushed for the film to accurately portray how the crew would have operated the vessel. Encounters like this became commonplace over the course of the war as Britain desperately needed the cargo from the US and the Germans desperately wanted to starve the British in order to force them to surrender.

“Sorry, my language sir.” Hilarious

Captain orders Hots for the Crew, Good Man.

Only now we can watch action on the seas from both sides in different movies above and below the waves one of my grandads was on the Russian convoy escort got torpedoed,, thank goodness he survived done 12 years in the royal navy from 1936 until 1948,, remember all those mariners who never got back home,,, from Northern Ireland,, on all the sea battles,, brave men,, ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland great video

Whoever remembers "The enemy below"?.

The years were the U-Boat caused havoc in the Atlantic, could have been avoided if we had just put Hollywood in charge.

Again, thanks Tom, love your work !

Tom Hanks could make a great Taffy 3 movie as captain of the USS Johnston DD557

Sonar pings brings me SH3 PTSD

Thats a ton of oil. If it were a fake they must have kept quite a bit of oil on reserve for just such purposes. Incredible footage and re-creation. Thanks

In heavy seas the U boats were thrown around just as much if not more than the ships they were hunting making it very difficult , if not impossible to attack a convoy. In Exeptional weather U boats were as in as much danger from the sea as anyone and usually stayed at a depth they could not attack from just to get some respite from the huge waves besides bad weather also affected the track of the torpedos. What they really needed was a dark moonless night and if not a calm sea state then calm enough to get a bearing on their target. The weather was everyone's enemy in the north Atlantic.

It would seem that Tom Hanks is the only actor in Hollywood...

My father served as an Electrician's mate first class (radar & diesel electric propulsion) aboard a Destroyer Escort, the DE39 USS Lovering in the South Pacific during WWII. They saw action in the Gilbert, Marianas and Marshall Islands and supported the invasions of Iwo Jima, Ryukyus, Saipan and Guam. Their responsibility was to screen and protect convoys, perform radar picket duty and hunt submarines.

THANK YOU, I AM WATCHING THIS MOVIE NOW. GO NAVY!!!
