Great Movie!

anybody else really like this movie?

I was serving on the USS Cavalla in 1995 when this movie came out. Every other submariner I've spoken to thinks this is the worst or one of the worst submarine movies released. The script is the biggest disappointment; the good acting is not near enough to make up for it.

Why did they have to go stupid with things like;

Bilge Bay - Doesn't exist.
A Sailor tightening sprung bolts on a seawater flange - The seawater systems are welded.
An officer mashing (push-ups) an enlisted man - Never seen this happen on a boat.
The captain's dog underway - Stupid.
Sailors running around when the diving alarm is sounded - Where's the fire you dorks?
Fighting over which Silver Surfer is best. - never actually seen enlisted men fighting on the four boats I served on.
300 pound cook - Even in 1995 there were weight standards that were adhered to.
Video game style sonar display - Easier just to keep it real instead of dumbing it down.
Noisy deck grates in the forward compartment. - Sound deadening tiles are used instead; stealth is the idea right?

If you're going to mutiny, keep all the small arms under your control, don't allow them to be accessible by the ones your taking control from.

When I tell people without submarine experience that Kelsey Grammer's comedy Down Periscope is more believable, they think I'm kidding. When I say the same things to submariners they smile.

Crimson tide is one of the more embarrassing sub movies made.
