There’s been a couple of mentions of the Tom Hanks Apple movie Greyhound on Blank Check as of late, but no mention that I know of that it is based on the C.S. Forrester novel The Good Shepherd. Forrester is, of course, the author of the Hornblower series. Little wonder that he wrote one of the great WWII destroyer novels.
I heartily recommend The Onedin Line (uk tv series 1971-1980) for more historical high seas adventures, if you can find it. Check out the theme song https://youtu.be/L2IuPjpAHnI?si=KVVLBKpRqR-Uspwu

Shout-out Robodoc! Maybe the best behind-the-scenes documentary ever? I wish we could get a 4 hour doc for every landmark film.
