| HMS Tarpon left Portsmouth for Rosyth on 5th April 1940. She was diverted to patrol around Norway on 6th April 1940. Around 0600 hours on 10th April 1940 the Tarpon encountered the German 'Q-ship' Schiff 40 west of Jutland, Denmark. Tarpon attacked the German vessel with two torpedoes both of which missed. It is assumed that Tarpon was sunk with all hands by depth charges in a counter-attack by Schiff 40. Tarpon was reported overdue on 22nd April 1940. Tarpon was probably the first British submarine to be lost to depth charges in WW2. | |
Highly under appreciated large scale production. Superb photography, and effects involved in Submarine, Warship, Missile attacks; with well executed choreography for a covert mission to a Russian naval base, to rescue the Russian President, who has been captured by a Russian minister, with his military team, intending to orchestrate a nuclear war between the US and Russia.
Gerard Butler is always worth watching (Den of Thieves, Greenland, The Vanishing, to name three) and the supporting cast are convincing, rather than mainly "set furniture"; although Gary Oldman spends a lot of his screen time just shouting and running across the sets.
