We hear that a ship is down to its last six depth charges and there are still many hours before reaching air support. A voice is heard over a radio a few times threatening a convoy and the naval ships accompanying them and he identifies himself as the “grey wolf” and that he is leading a “wolf pack.” A radio call from a German sub commander talks about attacking three vessels, killing everyone on-board and reporting their deaths to their women. A man paints a swastika on the side of a ship (possibly tracking submarines that had been sunk). A young man says, “50 less Krauts” after a submarine attack. A commander calls out “Fire at will several times.” Officers on ships talk about an attack on a sub and label it a “kill,” and one officer says, “Nothing but the captain’s trousers will do” as proof. ► We hear a report of two sailors having gotten into a fight and we see the two men with bruised eyes and faces as they are reprimanded by their skipper. A ship is badly damaged (we see large holes in its hull and it is listing badly) and the captain requests permission to abandon ship before it sinks. Many distress rockets are fired into the sky as ships are attacked and sunk by torpedoes. We see tracer fire in the night sky when ships are attacked and stalked by submarines. A vessel trying to avoid a torpedo comes upon a much larger ship in its path, veers to avoid it and scrapes along its side spraying sparks as it goes (no damage is shown). Torpedoes are shown moving under the surface of the water as a ship veers to avoid being struck. A submarine surfaces and a navy vessel fires on it repeatedly in a few scenes. ► A vessel tracks a submarine and follows what sonar indicates is its location many charges are thrown into the water and there is no damage (it was a decoy). Planes fly overhead and drop munitions on submarines and we see another sub blow up. A sub surfaces and is attacked with many volleys of gunfire before it explodes. A torpedo is fired on a ship and it veers sharply causing the ship to list deeply to avoid the torpedo (it grazes the side of the ship but does not explode). An oil tanker is struck by a torpedo and explodes in a giant ball of flames and smoke we see survivors floating in the water and see several rescued by another ship. A merchant ship is shown in flames and sinking after being struck by torpedoes. A vessel fires on a submarine and hits another navy vessel we see breaking glass and a sailor is struck in the face, presumably by shrapnel. Sonar detects a submarine in the vicinity of a convoy and it is tracked and monitored as sailors initiate maneuvers to run it down and avoid torpedoes fired at a convoy in numerous scenes many commands are called out, information is disseminated at speed and maneuvers are implemented causing a ship to bounce on heavy seas and list in a few scenes. ► A ship is struck by an attack by a submarine and we see a large explosion and we hear screaming (we understand that several men died and others were severely wounded) a man describes the dead as having been “completely mutilated.” A ship launches depth charges into the ocean causing explosions and we see a large oil slick, bodies and debris floating in the water implying that a submarine was struck. – We understand that there is a convoy of naval vessels accompanying merchant ships transporting supplies and oil and they are attacked by German submarines several times, as they try to make their way to Britain.
