    Yeah, surface encounters were a... "okay, it's Hollywood, I'm looking past it for a moment" ..... and then you get the cliche Nazi impression radio call from a sub and magically 60 tangos appear on the radar scope all chasing one Fletcher destroyer. If you had the sound off you'd somewhat miss that.

    I guess their inspiration is a legendary battle inside a 1990's arcade game.
