My father in law lived this. Joined the Navy on 12/8/41 at 16 and by early 1942 was a torpedo man on destroyer escorts. His first cruises were convoy duty in the North Atlantic. He made 37 trips through the Panama Canal seeing Naval combat in both the Atlantic & Pacific theaters. It was only when he realized that I too am a Navy vet did he start to open up to me probably around 1995, I never asked he just started talking one day. I truly feel fortunate to have heard his stories first hand. We miss you Brownie. Thanks to allow serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
Respect
I'm a merchant marine thanks to the destroyer men that did the best they could and more to help get the supplies across the pond
@@beedalton9675 My father in law told me that they were not allowed to stop if a merchant ship got hit. They would however throw survival supplies overboard for them. FLY NAVY!!!
Happy Navy Birthday. Spy Navy.
My father served on one of the Victory ships as part of a gunnery crew. The navy men who were part of the gunners on the merchant ships were called the Armed Guard. His ship was attacked by a German bomber and was wounded in the process. He was unloaded at a port at the northern tip of Scotland unconscious. He woke up in a civilian hospital and the ship continued on to it's port. I could never get him to say if the ship was headed for Murmansk or Archangel in Russia. The north Atlantic crossing was rough but the Murmansk run was just as deadly because the ships were within range of German bombers based in Norway.
This would have been much better without the commentary. Tom Hanks and the director do a great job in telling the story, don't ruin it with the Robovoice commentary.
It is annoying.
This was a focused generation, not confused by what a man or women is, and frankly, treated all with the respect they earned, not what someone thought they should have. I was always amazed at my parents ability to figure out complicated math faster than my fingers, and it was correct. Amazing is what I would call them.
Today's generation would be crying in for their safe space, calling the bad U-boat people Nazis, to which they would reply "danke!" before torpedoing them to death.
They are not called "water bombs". They are Depth Charges. The triggers on these Charges are set for different depths to go off according the the depth of the target (submarine)
We learn more by watching ''The Enemy Below''.
No Robert Mitchum by a galactic stretch that Tm Hnks.
fuckn right
Also, missiles in ww2? I mean they did exist but they were not in u-boats!
@@Vincent98987
tom hanks' fantasies.
The Germans called them "Bata Bombe" translated as Bath Bomb... Depth Charge or Ash Can is what the Americans called them...
They didn't listen for submarines using "SONAR". Sonar (or ASDIC if you will) was device which sent out a directional sound wave which would reflect back off of a submarine a give away the submarine's location. They used passive listening devices, known as hydrophones to listen for thing like turning propellers on submarines or torpedoes or really any sound emitted by a submarine.
isnt that just passive sonar?
Bravo Zulu Sir.⚓

The weather is what really stayed with me on this film. I enjoyed it 😊
WW2 German Submarines did not have missiles, they had Torpedoes. US Ships did not have "water bombs", they had Depth Charges.
The missiles of that time were several stories high, no way to fit that on a U-Boat :D
@@mathiaswittinger2808 Agreed, but Napoleon had "missiles" in the 1800s, mostly as terror weapons, not accurate / directed.

His name is AI Guy. He loves "water bombs."
The interpretations of the actions of the captain and crew provided don't match what happened in the movie. And as noted elsewhere, the terminology from the voice over is wrong/inaccurate. Get it right, please.
The trouble with this story is that, although the Americans did capture a submarine with an Enigma machine on board, that happened in 1944, three years too late to make a difference. The British destroyer HMS Bulldog had captured a German sub carrying an Enigma machine and the accompanying material for decoding messages in 1941, and that actually led to the breaking of the Nazi code.
The commander of the Bulldog was Capt. Joe Baker-Creswell
Actually general algorithm of the Enigma was known from even before the war because polish mathematicians have created a way to decode it.
It was very inefficient though and still steps had to be taken to perfect it. Properly encoded Enigma messages would be still unreeadable, but Germans often were getting lazy and didn't change the key coded in their machines while sending messages - in which case what polish mathematicians discovered and the Brits then perfected was sufficient to decode such message.
@@ripLunarBirdCLH Here's what: Even though the Allies could decipher the Enigma they also decided not to reveal that by making sure most convoys actually weren't re-routed to avoid the positions the German submarines were known to be at. Some carrying important cargo were re-routed to avoid the subs while others were sent to their usual routes with a warning that German subs *were* in a particular area. So while the convoys were sent straight into the path of the submarines the crews of the ship at least knew when to be prepared to be torpedoed at any moment.
Allied anti-submarine aircraft were given the position of the German submarines on occasion to deal a "serious blow" but mostly not. If the Allied aircraft somehow were locating the German subs a bit too often on the vast Atlantic the Germans would get suspicious Enigma had been broken. Fact is some captains of the subs *were* getting suspicious and reported that it was "likely" the Allies could read Enigma. Fortunately the arrogance of the nazis meant this was roundly ignored.

I also questioned the narrator's use of use of the word "BOMB" and not "Depth Charge"

If you want to see a true riveting destroyer vs U-Boat film watch 1958’s “The Enemy Below” with Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens. The U Boat doesn’t squeal like an animal in that film.
Or if you want to know what the Battle of the Atlantic was really like, read 'The Cruel Sea.'
A classic one of my all time favorites!

"Water bombs?" "Anti Submarine bombs?" Come on dude, they're friggin depth charges. And German "subs" aren't German "ships." There are "subs" and there are "ships." Each distinct from the other.

U boats Germans didn’t actually have many actual subs till late war. They used snorkels. But they were called u boats not “subs”.
There are two types of watercraft:
1. Submarines
2. Targets
I served on destroyers, one was a Fletcher. I was in a hunter-killer group, a carrier and 6 destroyers or DEs. There were no windshield wipers on destroyer portholes. Cars built in the 1950s still had vacuum operated wipers. It was uncommon for Fletchers to serve in the Atlantic. They usually went directly to the Pacific because of being bigger ships, better range and more guns. Atlantic destroyers were usually Benson, Livermore, Gleaves, or older classes. It's not that hard to do proper research, but Hollywood rarely gets it right. Destroyers don't use active sonar continuously. Only when there may be a contact. Otherwise the sonar ping would draw subs to a convoy. And listening for subs required slow speed and a not too rough ocean. In a convoy, the noise of the other ships would block out most of the noise a sub would make.
My father was in WWI and WWII. Never torpedoed, but bombed several times.
Forester's book is based on a Mahan class destroyer, but of course none now exist.
Geez it's a Movie Not a History Documentary 🙄🙄
@@Nobody0512 It's not that hard to do it right.
Agreed. These mechanical computer voices seem to always never get things right, historically. @@oceanmariner
@@oceanmariner They used the museum ships for filming and as models. Closest thing they had to early WW2 Cans was a Fletcher in NOLA and a Flower Corvette in Canada Doubt a Sumner or Gearing would have pulled off a early war DD. And the Fletchers were only beginning to roll out 3 months or so after the movies date. I rode Sumners and Gearings on the Gunline back in the day. We would pull repair parts off of laid up Fletchers, and I rode a couple of Korean and Taiwan Fletchers on "exchange" cruises. I doubt a realistic movie of some ships being torpedoed on the horizon, followed by Twidgets listening to passive for three hours would have drawn much ticket sales.
The U-boats began to surface and were ready for battle.... not one crew member on the bridge/conning tower..There just aint no way a submarine would run on the surface without a watch crew..
Correct. As soon as the tower hatch was clear of the water the watch officer would be through it. Just watch Das Boot, ffs not the series though.

Much better👍
Movie based 1950s novel b C.S. Forester call the "The Good Shepard". Still an excellent read and story.
Lose the robo voice.
"water bombs"?
"death ceremony"?
etc...
- how about using actual naval terminology?
Because yes it was common for German subs to surface in daylight, give away their one chief advantage (stealth), then attempt to use their one gun versus a group of destroyers and destroyer escorts each having four or more guns. Really wanted to love this movie but it had so many unbelievable holes it was unwatchable. A good CGI movie with nothing but swiss cheese for a plot.
Thank you, i started to think i was alone with my opinion.
When Superman and Captain America arrived the movie became more realistic
Submarine Missiles = Torpedo
submarines today have missiles, but back then they didn't
IN ROUGHLY 1985-86, FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA,... MY GOOD FRIEND {MOOSE}, WAS ABOUT 65-70 AT THAT TIME, TOLD ME A STORY THAT HE WAS ON A WARSHIP, IN THE ATLANTIC ,.HE SAW A TORPEDO JUST MISS HIS SHIP, AS DID THE GREYHOUND... YOU TAKE THAT KINDA STUFF WITH YOU TO THE GRAVE,.FOR SURE...
I am confused...I served 6 years in the U.S. Navy and served on a Carrier for 18 months and at NO TIME..did I see any Lieutenant Commander running around with Scrambled Eggs on the bill of his officers cap. Only thing I remember about WWII is at one point the office of commodore was restored and at that point I know scrambled eggs on the bill of their officers hat was allowed but Hanks is a 2 1/2 striper..not a 3 striper because if he was a full Commander he could sport those scrambled eggs.
No scrambled eggs
(or crossed fishbones as we say in our navy)
for Lt-Cmdrs.
Beginning only with Commanders.

mystery solved?
I thought it was extremely decent of the German U-boats not to resume the attack on the convoy while the Greyhound was performing the ship's funeral service for its dead.
German submariners we’re discouraged from attacking escorts. Torpedoes are expensive and limited. UBoats were meant to attack merchant ships only.
Exactly. Their mission was not open warfare, but to keep the supplies from reaching Europe. Although they did have the advantage of stealth, they were tin cans and DDs were VERY hard to hit with the torpedoes of that time, so they went after the slow-moving, barely armed transport ships. The U-boats only engaged if they were being hunted by the DDs, and even then tried to get away rather than try to destroy the DD, because once they were damaged, they either sank or had to surface which meant they only had the deck gun vs. the DDs 4 5" guns plus boffors and .50cal.
Expensive? Do you not know how many Wolf Packs were out there? I don’t think they’re concerned with expense lol meanwhile if the escort is providing active threat to the submarine they have to neutralize it
@@brysonkuervers2570 I stand by my answer. Depending on what year in the war it was, the numbers of UBoats/wolf packs varied. Escorts are always a threat to UBoats. Again the primary mission of the Atlantic UBoats was to sink cargo ships. Escorts are difficult targets being small, fast and maneuverable.
@@d53101 Don't listen to the idiot above. You're bang on and the whole movie is a farce when it comes to U-Boot tactics. I'd add that they was never enough U-Boots in the Atlantic to achieve what they were set out to do. From 42 on the war was basically over for the Kriegsmarine anyway.
Not "only", as they sank battleships, cruisers, even aircraft carriers throughout the war...but their main goals were the freighters, especially the tankers.
You need to get a reviewer/recapper who knows destroyers and their operations to do the review. I could hardly stand to watch the video because of the review.
Sailing the open sea like a "Dark Seas," production, accuracy be damned.;)
Gray Wolf contacts Grayhound. Interesting. I doubt U-boats had the capability of voice comms to enemy vessels as they would't know the freqs. Comments around 9:20. Rubbish. The CO would be contemplating his next tactics, the loss of ships was bad but there is no time for brooding. Sorry you do not know the command processes and further comments are nonsense. 13:10. The submarine fired a torpedo not a missile and the aircraft dropped depth charges not bombs. Please get the terminology correct.
Grey wolf contacting the hound is a scene in the movie, don't know why HW didn't catch that history buff but it made the cut, it's a movie recap not yarnhub
Uhm, this is a Hollywood production, based on a novel, I believe. It doesn't claim that it's historically correct 100%.
Can you imagine how boring the plot of this movie eould have been without any of the drama that the producers wrote into the script?
Also, at 5:20.. German U-boats were manned by sailors.. NOT soldiers. I don't know who wrote the narration for this but he needs to be fired.
Accually some german subs did have the equipment to do this as a fear tactitc
No ''The Enemy Below'' this one.
Nice recap of this movie. For clarity, the "water bombs" dropped by the Greyhound are typically called "Depth Charges" by the US Navy. I'm not sure what the bombs were that the UK planes dropped, but they appeared to be typical aircraft-style bombs similar to what they used during WW II sea battles.
The "water bomb" dropped by the plane would be called a depth bomb, a depth charge with the tail fins of a bomb. Clever name huh? 😁
In the end, the destroyer was not joining the other ships, and was it was not being welcomed. It was leaving the convoy (the three escort ships had been relieved), and the troop ships were thanking them for protecting them on their Atlantic crossing.
Fletcher class destroyers did not escort north Atlantic convoys. The Fletchers were used almost exclusively in the Pacific theater in WW2. Their flush deck design was considered too wet for North Atlantic duty.
Then how can you justify using the decommissioned 4 pippers with the flush deck? They Were the lend lease destroyers.
@@philgiglio7922 They were expendable?
[Darcy Hildebrand] Sorry but not so!! To suggest the Pacific was a bathtub compared to the North Atlantic is false. The Fletcher's were sent to the Pacific because that is where they were needed most.
@@philgiglio7922 They weren’t well suited either but is what they had.
@@brgilbert2 Incorrect. If you don’t believe me then I suggest you read up on it. Nowhere were destroyers needed more than in the North Atlantic convoys. It wasn’t until Spring of 43 that they could largely negate the U-boat threat and feel some confidence they could get get the convoys across with reasonable loss rates. The Pacific Ocean is called ‘Pacific’ for a reason. It is not the North Atlantic.
They were passing through a "tract," not a "track." Damn.
The U Boats were rightfully nicknamed The Wolf Pack. This branch of the German Navy suffered 90% casualty rates. Only one crew member in ten survived the Second World War. Their top submarine captain was shot and killed by a sentry when he was returning back to the Naval Base because he gave the wrong password.
If im not wrong, dicky was not a destroyer but a flower class frigate.
Actually a corvette. Slightly smaller than a frigate. The most common Canadian convoy escort of the war. That’s what the Flower class were. A corvette, both Canadian or English was 205 feet long. Carried one 3 inch gun in the bow, one 40mm on the stern and a few 50cal and 303 cal machine guns. And depth charges. Lots and lots of depth charges. German subs feared the corvette more than the larger destroyer because the corvette was small and highly manoeuvrable and could stay right on top of a sub, unlike a destroyer which made “runs” across the subs estimated position. The corvette was outgunned by a surfaced sub but was so shallow of draft that a torpedo might pass right under. The subs 88 or 105mm deck gun was lethal as was to 20mm flack gun. The corvettes 3 inch and 40mm might sink a sub with a direct hit to the tower while the sub had 205 feet of ship to shoot at, any direct hit usually going into some critical system. Thus the corvette fought best against a submerged sub. Just so you know.
@@MrJento oh yea, my bad
@@waterz2415
Nope. Your all good. Carry on.
You are correct s flower class corvette

Good animation, poor commentary
Submarines are called BOATS, not ships. A ship is called that IF it can carry a boat.
Agreed. That was very confusing. When it said the German "ship" I thought an actual German ship had joined the battle. Then I realized it meant the German sub. Along with "water bombs" and "anti submarine bombs" WTF??? The terminology is screwed up. This is not a very good vid.
Those tin cans are also boats.
After going through an ordeal like this, it must have been awful knowing they would have to do it again and again.
The ship's name is USS Keeling (DD-548) and NOT Greyhound. Greyhound is the ship's call sign. Both the name Keeling and the hull number (DD-548) are fictional there was no (DD-548).
The radio transmission was 15 miles "to starboard" and not "to the starboard".
Submarines aren't ships, they are boats. Even our 16,700 tonne Ohio-class submarines are boats.
Naval personnel are sailors and NOT soldiers.
They are torpedoes and not missiles. Missiles fly through the air.
I like 'water bombs'.
And what about those underwater "soldiers."?
It never ceases to amaze me at lame attempts these people go to trying to explain something they have no idea about! So stupid! They need to do their research first!
Also its dove, not dived
Correct about there not having been any DD-548. It would have been a Fletcher class destroyer, but along with DD-549, it was canceled. No idea why.
For a submerged enemy, SONAR is an active location tool. Turning off the subs engines would NOT affect it. HYDROPHONES are a passive location tool, turning off the engines would give the operator nothing to hear. The two tools are used in conjunction with each other. AND.... "Water Bombs"? Seriously? Why don't they use someone who's first language is English to script a video like this.
Great presentation for an excellent movie.
I was enjoying this movie despite too many near misses by torpedoes and collisions with other ships. However, the film turned into farce when the U-boat captain starts broadcasting through the destroyer's PA system. That was truly a face palm moment.

It was British tactics that the American navy adopted thru the heavy losses the British suffered in the early stages of the Battle of the Atlantic it also helped that the royal navy captured a German U-boat Enigma machine which helped read German intentions during the many battles in the Atlantic . Still many deaths on all sides. It's a shame that with the wars and the tears for the fallen that we haven't learned the lessons from the past . Peace to ✌️ All 🇬🇧

Well an Enigma machine had already been in hand before 1940 thanks to Polish intelligence however it was the type that was being used by the Wehrmacht not the navy and as the Germans changed the code everyday what the Brits needed was the code book and by chance they achieved to get it from a crippled u boat before the German crew destroying it ,then they had the chance of decoding the german code even if the Germans had started using 4 rotor types enigma code machine.This was the turning point in the Atlantic War.German Kriegsmarine HQ only got suspicious about being decoded only in late 1943 but by that time the U Boat flotilla had lost the initiative.

@@Simon_S22 808 U-boats were destroyed during the Battle of the Atlantic. Of these, 84 were destroyed by bombing is shipyards late in the war. Of the remaining 724, 257.5 were destroyed by the Royal & Royal Canadian Navies, and 196 by RAF Coastal Command. The US Navy sank 48.5, the USAAF 12, and US Naval Aircraft 74.
Oh, and the Royal Navy planned and largely executed almost every assault landing in the west.

When did German subs get missiles?
Enemy 'soldiers'? You mean sailors.
Sailing on a German submarine was direct way to hell. Three quarter of the men didn't return.
The Antisubmarine Bombs, Water Bombs are called Depth Charges and Submarines at that time fired Torpedoes not Missiles!
Now they're 'water bombs'?
Great movie, not sure of the historical accuracy. I would have thought troop transports would be a fast convoy (the flowers only did about 16 knots), and they would have more escorts. It's been a few years since I read the book, but if memory serves me right (no guarantees there) they claimed a possible sinking but not as many sinking (u-boats that is) as in the movie. still loved it anyway (as with the Cruel Sea), would have been better on the big screen.
As we all know, the victors write the history, even if fake!
I enjoyed the commentary. I know nothing about naval terms and don’t care if the narrator got it wrong. I enjoyed it!
Young man, the water bombs you've mentioned are called ""depth charges"".
Did you even watch the movie!? The amount of times, they actually say 'depth charges'.
those water bombs as you call them are depth charges
FYI This movie is based on the book "The Good Shepherd" by C.S. Forester. A great read.
Lord knows what the creator of Hornblower would have made of the movie.
My father, RIP WHO died last July, saw this. He was on a Destroyer from 1951 to 1953 (?). He missed WWII and Korea but said the movie was right on. Of course he actually missed warfare. He thought it was a great movie. Thank you for your service Dad
Torpedoes swim they do not fly. Destroyers drop depth charges. I have never heard of a waterbomb.
I agree. A waterbomb is a waterfilled balloon
History must never be forgotten!
But why can we never learn from it?
"WATER BOMBS" are correctly called DEPTH CHARGES, by the US Navy.
Got the sonar thing wrong too.
Oh yes, that sonar description is a load of bollocks.
As a former submarine Sonarman I couldn't help but cringe when the narrator butchered the explanation of how sonar worked.
Problem with being in the navy is. Not only you’re stuck on water and your ship starts taking water or is sinking. You’re still fu*cked, because hypothermia is still a thing.
AI Guy shouldn't do the narration.
If you were going to narrate a movie describing the battle between US Navy destroyers and German submarines tried doing some research beforehand and get your terminology correct.
That's not water bomb sir,, that's what they call depth charges if I'm not mistaken..
"A 'water bomb' and a 'missile?" We have a name for those types of ordnance in the U.S. NAVY, and THOSE are NOT what they are! They're called DEPTH CHARGES and TORPEDOES!
I didn't know that a battleship could turn like that!
I wish that this movie would be made available for purchase so I can buy it and own it and add it to my library.
The Germans called depth charges wasserbomben-water bombs.
Dicky was a corvette as were the vast majority of warships protecting convoys. Cheap and easy to build manoeuvrable with weapons systems designed for anti submarine warfare. Not the ship you wanted to be on during a storm.
Anti submarine bombs? are those anything like depth charges? (sarcasm)
A UNDERRATED MOVIE THAT FOR SURE, IT WAS GOOD WW2 MOVIE
that´s a VERY good one!
I have really enjoyed watching this, but I'm afraid this is just more of the "how America won the war". It was the British and Commonwealth who firstly developed the technology to defeat the U-boat challenge, and secondly to get the job done. No one should disrespect the part American forces played in all of this, and their sacrifices, but credit where it is due please.
It is especially ridiculous since this movie is set in February 1942, when in reality no major convoy battles were happening because the Germans were too busy decimating American merchant shipping off the American east coast, which they could only do because the Americans were completely unprepared and had willfully ignored British naval intelligence and refused to follow British advice on anti submarine warfare.
This is only a 13min video that shows a very small part of the war. Maybe you should watch the ww2 documentary. I think you have something personal against America.
@@excite236, the British have always felt that they alone won the war, that America just wasn't much help even though without American help the Brits would be speaking fluent German now!
Evan Penny, sure, the British were so great at winning the war all by themselves...just ask the men of convoy PQ-17 how THEY feel about the British...oh, but then only 11 of the 35 merchantmen that started the trip survived the slaughter caused by the British Admiralty crapping their pants over the possibility that the German mega-battleship, Tirpitz, MIGHT be moving and pulling ALL of the escorts away from the convoy. Yeah, the mighty British won the war all by themselves, right? Maybe the Americans should have stayed out of it and let the Germans HAVE Britain!
Sorry Richard Richard. Not saying that at all.
How did I miss this movie? dang 2020.
What everyone needs to remember is the verbal description is automated and feed a script by non navel people who use other descriptive adjectives most people are use to..

I remember seeing a terrible movie called "Annapolis" about their boxing team. Donnie Wahlberg was the LT CDR in charge (2.5 strips uniform) and at one point in the script he says: "how would I know, I'm just a Lieutenant." As a Cold War Navy officer, I cringe at stuff like that.

water bombs ?? when we were kids we made these ... we would fill rubber balloons with water and throw them lol ,,,
Is this movie available on DVD? 😊
What kind of pressure captain n crew were facing...only they knows. Salute to the captain who withstand under such harsh conditions n manage to survive n destroy those submarines. Here people start crying when temperature falls in winter...WHAT A SHAME.
It was an awesome flick!!!!
Nice Video 👍
Thank you 👍
@@Fans_9 np man :)
This was a great movie.
I SO want to see this flick WHEN are they ever going to release on DVD?
Water Bombs?? Depth Charges dude Depth Charges!!
Another USN veteran here.... The so-called Underwater Bombs are rightfully called Depth Charges. My father and uncle were Navy sailors in World War II. Even though their battles occurred 77- 80 years ago, I would not describe them as "ancient warfare." Not yet please.
A terrible in accurate description of what was happening
A water bomb no such thing
Either a depth charge or a hedgehog
A missle is really a torpedo
A non-proofread "Dark Seas" production.;)
Very good movie! Just watched it
WHY DON'T THESE COMMENTATIRS LEARN ABOUT WEAPONRY AND THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY TO BE USED??THIS IS A DIRECT INSULT TO THE MEN WHO FOUGHT, LIVED AND DIED FIGHTING THESE BATTLES.
Brutal narration.
Has this movie been shown in the theaters yet? Any war movie featuring Tom Hanks you know is going to be a great war movie.
no its an Apple TV movie
@@skyclaw36 Which, I assume, means that it sank without trace?
Good. Just saw the Movie. thanks.
WATER BOMBS, are usually named DEPTH CHARGES, They have pressure sensitive fuses which can be set to explode at different depths! Due to the compressing effect of water a near miss can be as lethal to a sub as a direct hit!!
I haven't seen the Movie Yet!
I really look forward to it? As far as accuratuacy is concerned. I've always been about that. 🤔🤔
IF it's not True, or close too the truth, then it's just an imaginary tale.
Meant too entertain us. These long awaited memories, and retellings of People's real Life experience's? Are very important, and very necessary, to the History of Our Culture, Our Society, & too inform other's of just what Thier Forefathers, and relatives had too Endure. Thank You for The Video and explanation of the Film GreyHound. Wyoming, Robert,🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀🤔🤔👍👍🙏🙏
