That makes sense.

Would that be likley to be true for the all sets?   "Run Silent Run Deep*
was made on a fairly good model of a real Gato -- subsidized and 
designed by the Navy -- and there was a British movie which gave
its set to the Admiralty for training use.   Obviously, the more complex
sets are going to be rare.

Making U-571 must have been fun, in some ways.

My British buddies are still upset about the story line, though.
