Deep Sea Submarine toy with working Underwater Motor.

This functioning submarine comes equipped with a waterproof cabin to keep figures dry, as well as two claws for picking up valuable ocean objects. Control the depth of the submarine with the hand pump. Set also includes two figures, underwater motor, ocean crystals, and other accessories.

Submarine adventure and the threat of World War III come together in director (and co-writer) Samuel Fuller’s Hell and High Water, a 1954 film that remains surprisingly relevant more than half a century later. When an enormous nuclear explosion is traced to somewhere between the tip of northern Japan and the Arctic Circle, followed by the disappearance of a prominent French atomic scientist (Victor Francen), it’s clear that something’s up. Did the prof defect to the dark (actually, the Red) side? Was he abducted?

As it turns out, he’s actually part of a group of scientists, businessmen, and other distinguished gentlemen planning to send a sub to check out the scene and determine the extent of the threat. Enter Capt. Adam Jones (the redoubtable Richard Widmark), who agrees to helm the private, very secret mission for a hefty cash reward; enter also the professor’s “assistant” (Bella Darvi), herself a skilled scientist who goes along for the ride, thereby quickening the pulse of every able-bodied sailor on board the sub, especially the captain’s.

Set during the occupation of Holland during World War II, Ralph Richardson, in a very charismatic role, stars as the owner of a Dutch shipyard who pretends to collaborate with the Nazis in order to protect his wife and fellow workers.

Inspired by the memory of the Dutch historical hero Piet Hein, he forms a complicated plan to double cross the Nazis and to sabotage the two submarines he’s been ordered to build for them. A truly rousing and patriotic WWII film, with an ending that is quite moving.

This film has long been under appreciated.

Includes three of the best must have Submarine Movies –

As with the original, the board has a different map on each side: Benelux on one side and Central Europe on the other. Along with the maps are small rule changes to reflect the power culture in these two countries. As the Benelux countries support ecological power, players may have greater opportunities to acquire such power plants. Also, oil is more available and coal less available in these countries. As Poland has large coal supplies, coal will be much more plentiful then elsewhere in Central Europe. However, due to political stands taken by some countries, players may be limited in their access to nuclear power. The result is not just new maps, but new ways to play this great game.

Based on an incident that was officially suppressed for 28 years, K-19: The Widowmaker is a fine addition to the “sub-genre” of submarine thrillers. The first major American film about Russian cold war heroes, it re-creates the nightmare endured in 1961 by the crew of the Soviet nuclear submarine K-19, when an exposed reactor core nearly resulted in a nuclear catastrophe. Several crewmen died, and K-19’s captain (played by Harrison Ford) had to assert his command when near-mutiny favored his executive officer (Liam Neeson).

It’s Mitchum vs. Jurgens as the commanders of an American destroyer and a German U-boat play a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Both commanders are good men with a job to do, but with the German commander’s distaste for Hitler and the Nazis we find this submarine movie engaging our sympathy with the German sailors almost as much as the Americans.
