We Dive At Dawn-The crew of HMS submarine Sea Tiger have their leave (and assorted family problems) cut short when they are recalled for a special mission: sink the new German battleship Brandenburg. En route, they learn that their target has entered the heavily defended Baltic; rather than fail, they follow it. Tension builds as they approach their target. After the attempt, escape seems impossible...unless they can refuel in enemy waters. Any good? |

Googling has found a John Mills & Eric Portman film directed by Emeric Pressburger, called We Dive at Dawn, but I can't find any reference to an actual submarine name. nell |

Budgie hubby and son tend to agree with you on this one, they say that they only had depth charges and they were very unlikely to have been hit by a torpedo unless they were on the surface, otherwise the aeroplanes used to wait for them to surface and then go in and drop a bomb on them due to them having to re surface around every 8 hours, not like todays subs.

Maybe it wasn't destroyed by torpedo's then, my grandad always said (when he was alive) that he saw it blow up. |
