If you’re ever in the Tampa, FL area, take a couple of hours to visit the S.S. American Victory. Built in 55 days and launched in 1945, she hauled military cargo to the Philippines and China during WWII, and also served in Korea and Vietnam. She’s a floating museum and training ship for first responders now. The American Victory is one of three remaining Victory ships. Well worth the time!

They kick some serious butt.

There is a correctly built model built by Bavaria Film Studios for Das Boot that was at one time and probably still open for tours. That model is for a Type VIIC. I am not sure if it was used for U-571 if it was that would be that movies ONLY redeeming quality.

From what I have read the boat in U-571 was built for that movie. There were actualy 5 subs built for Das Boot 2 full size and 3 scale models. The scale models were used in Raiders of the lost arc.

Speaking of Raiders, I always wondered where Indy was hiding on the U-boat, after he swam to it. They show him on the deck of the U-boat and then you just see him on the docks of the U-boat pen. I’m probably too picky, but it would be nice to know what he did aboard the sub.
-
There is a deleated sceen where Indy clings to the periscope of the submarine all the way to the secret base by wrapping his whip around it and himself.

That’s pretty crazy. I’m guessing that they never submerged, or the world would have been out an action packed, archaeologist. Do you know if that clip can be found online? I haven’t seen it in the Indiana Jones DVD box set.

This is the best I can do for you I’ll keep an eye out though :-o
