Yes, I would rank The Cruel Sea as the British "Das Boot"
If you haven't seen it yet see it soon. The film really shows
what the Battle of the Atlantic was like from a Royal navy
surface perspective and the toll it takes on the officers and crew.

Another good, though less well known film from that period
is "San Demitrio, London" It tells the story of a tanker attacked by
a surface raider, she is set ablaze, in fear of explosion the crew
abandon her spend days in a life boat, almost dead they spot a
ship on the horizon but to their shock it is the drifting Demitrio
with nothing left to lose they reboard her. The film tells the true story of their attempt to bring the ship back to port against all odds.

Just purchased the "Cruel Sea" thru used section of Amazon.com for $5.00. Pretty good movie but have not been able to finish it. Not bad so far for $5.00.
