Re: Submarine Movie? or TV?



The movie in question is a "TNT" movie on the Confederate submarine Hunley.  It
will be on sometime in the next few weeks.  The Hunley was the first submarine
to sink another ship, although it got flooded and sunk at the same time.  They
recently found the boat and are in the process of salvaging it.  There are a
number of web sites up regarding the salvage operation.
