Down Periscope (1996)

IMDB rating: 5.30

Plot: Lt. Cmdr Tom Dodge (Kelsey Grammer) is one of the Navy’s best, even if he is a bit unconventional. But to take command of his own ship, he must first prove himself in simulated combat. Dodge is shocked when he’s put in command of the rusty and outdated USS Stingray. His crew consists of the Navy’s worst misfits and troublemakers. And to add salt to an open wound, Dodge’s old rival, Adml. Graham (Bruce Dern), will be supervising the opposing team, the crew of the more-up-to-code USS Orlando. Dodge must now prove that he and his crew are up to the challenge…

Which submarine movie is more accurate, Crimson Tide or Down Periscope?


Both. I served in the Army for eight years and I can tell you that it was a cross between Black Hawk Down and Sgt. Bilko (Steve Martin). You always have the serious side AND the ridiculous antics screaming in the background. They go hand-in-hand. Think of those times where you pulled pranks at work…. It’s the same for the military.

Plus, my friend (a former submariner) just confirmed that my answer was correct.

Hope I helped!

Crimson Tide. Down Periscope was just silly.

Both movies were ‘fiction’ so I’d go with ‘The Hunt For Red October’ or ‘U571′ for accuracy, as they were both based on real events and real submarines. :-) Cookie Cutter | Mar 01, 2007

Christians monotheists do you still practice "The Eucharist"?
The Eucharist, also called Holy Communion, Sacrament of the Table, the Blessed Sacrament, or The Lord’s Supper and other names, is a Christian sacrament or ordinance, generally considered to be a commemoration of the Last Supper, the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. The consecration of bread and a cup within the rite recalls the moment at the Last Supper when Jesus gave his disciples bread, saying, "This is my body", and wine, saying, "This is my blood".

In the Lutheran Book of Concord, in the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, article 24, paragraph 1 it is asserted that among Lutherans in 1531 the eucharist was celebrated weekly: "In our churches Mass is celebrated every Sunday and on other festivals, when the sacrament is offered to those who wish for it after they have been examined and absolved." This was the Lutheran response to those who accused them of abolishing the eucharist. Strict adherence to this assertion varies in present day Lutheranism as does the manner of sacramental practice. Some congregations celebrate the eucharist in formal rites similar to the Roman Catholic and "high" Anglican services. Other congregations may celebrate the sacrament outside of traditional liturgical worship services, such as during in-home meetings and services. Administration of the sacrament varies between congregations. The bread can be a thin wafer, or leavened or unleavened. The wine may be administered via a common cup (the "chalice"), or through individual cups that may be either prefilled or filled from the chalice during the distribution of the sacrament. Intinction is acceptable, but rarely used. Some congregations that use wine, make grape juice available for those who are abstaining from alcohol, and some will accommodate those with an allergy to wheat or grapes.

So christians monotheists do you still practice "The Eucharist or Holy Communion" using the bread and wine? Thanks.


We don’t call it that in the Pentecostal church where I go or the Baptist church where I was raised. We just call it communion and we have it only about once a month. It is grape juice and small wafers.
