    I just watched “Run Silent Rub Deep”again the the other day, and I’ve always wondered, what is that bulb Don Rickles held in his hand? Was it to let the periscope up and down? I know it’s a dumb question, but I’ve never really even thought about it till now. I always enjoyed this movie coming up, not only because of the acting, but because the conning tower was utilized. It’s rather a claustrophobic place to do work in, as I visited to the USS DRUM in Mobile, and it is really small.

    Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
