Okay, I see what your saying. I completely agree about Midway. Would of been much better if they deleted the love story and included the Coral Sea battle footage. I believe I've only seen that footage once on TV. As for "The Hunley", I must admit that I didn't mind the love story aspect probably because it was flashbacks and kind of set the tone for Captain Dixon's state of mind. Lost the love of his life. Not much to live for but determined to take some of the enemy with him when he goes.
You got me curious about Civil War naval battles. I've always been interested in "Age of Sail" battles but haven't really read much about the Ironclad age. I'll have to check it out.
