This is a Tom Hanks movie made for and available through Apple TV. Iy has about three minutes of introduction and then jumps right into the convoy and the destroyer on which Captain Krause (Tom Hanks) is commanding. It shows them tracking their first submarine, and the difficulty in facing the unknown. They score their first kill; but the day has just begun as they are facing a wolf pack agains their convoy which is trying to get supplies from America to England. In 1942 the U Boat was winning the war in the Atlantic. The allies brought destroyers, destroyer escorts, and air support against them. They used radar and sonar. This show makes for a very intense 48 hours of vigilance and fighting with no let up. They dodge torpedoes, and attack submarines on the surface and with depth charges. At one point they ark a submarine with their fire for a plane which drops depth charges on it. The movie explores the emotional stress and fatigue from such conditions.
I found this movie as my father served on a destroyer escort in WWII, USS Garfield Thomas. However he never faced a wolf pack. He did escort a couple of convoys--to Brazil where they delivered an air craft carrier to Recife Brazil; and to Bizerte, North Africa. May dad served below deck, in the radar room. He at one time spotted an enemy plane, but the Captain chose not to engage. That was his only contact with the enemy.
