haha i don't mind you disagreeing carl! all in good fun!
Well i was only refering my answer to the question...if i implied the whole theaters of war i didn't...i was refering to a destroyer in the atlantic...
not in the far east (which was under the control of Japan)
and in the indian oceans and such.
Destroyers i did know were used a great deal in evacuation...but wasn't that shallower Seas closer to land? I don't doubt the fact that they were used for those operations.
My comments were aimed only at the placement of the destroyer in the movie, all alone, in the middle of the atlantic.
And my believe is that ...in this instance...that is to unrealistic.
i also feel that although later in the war not ALL u boats were brought in closer to home...i think it is fair to say that the majority were.
