Born in 1945 and knew very early that the USSR was my enemy. We had air raid sirens all over town. Learned how to dive under my desk in first grade. The threat was serious business.

I lived on a B-52 base, Andersen AFB to be exact then. Didn't have to tell me the threat then.

A very risky time. Spy satellites did not yet exist, so you didn't quite know what the "other guy" was doing or where his forces were. The only hope was to have your forces on a hair trigger to minimize your losses in case of attack. Note that there is nothing in this film about deterrence. Why not let them know that you know they're there? Some sonar pings or a (then new) B-52 circling nine miles above their heads might have done it.

So after sitting patiently in ultra-quiet for five days the submarine crews in this film had no beard, clean ironed clothes and freshly cut and washed hair ...

Because of the ineffectiveness of the Mk 14 torpedo US subs did not isolate Japan until Jan 1945. After finally having an effective weapon by November 1943 US subs isolated Japan in just a little over a year. The Pacific war might have effectively been over by the summer of 1943 if the Mk 14 had been an effective weapon instead of a waste of effort. Unfortunately the bureaucrats at the Bureau of Ordnance were protected by (expletive deleted) in the Navy's upper command structure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_14_torpedo#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DThe_Mark_14_torpedo_was%2Ctwo_years_of_the_war.?wprov=sfla1
