While it is true Christopher Reeve is in the movie, his character is a part of the rescue operation above water and is not one of the crewmembers of stricken sub. - @Sunday, April 28, 2013 11:35 AM

This movie was released on March 10, 1978, almost ten years after the U.S. Navy's last maritime disaster, which was the loss of the Skipjack-class nuclear attack sub USS Scorpion on May 22, 1968. Unfortunately, there would be another maritime sinking, this time involving the U.S. Coast Guard, when the USCGC Blackthorn was accidentally sunk on January 28, 1980, by the tanker SS Capricorn. A damn good and underrated movie. Thanks for posting the clip! - @Wednesday, October 26, 2011 4:48 PM

The minute the guy announced that there was a ship ahead, I would have turned on the foglights at full power and let out the signal. He should've warned the ship that they were getting too close. - @Thursday, August 12, 2010 7:56 PM

The captain waited too long to blow the tanks. If he would of blown his tanks at 100 feet they might of made it to the surface before they took on too much water. - @Wednesday, June 10, 2009 5:44 AM

The freighter was probably too close to be avoided even with an emergency dive. At least that's my guess. - @Saturday, April 11, 2009 9:14 PM

ok, so why the fuck didnt they just preform an emergency dive and go under? - @Saturday, April 11, 2009 8:31 PM
