Default Submarine comedy films

I watched "Down Periscope" starring Kelsey Grammer the other day on TV.
I thought it was funny...
Especially when it posed as a fishing boat

What you think about it?

It's a good movie. And as probably any submariner will tell you that's the closest to what it's really like on a boat. Insofar as the way the crew acts, not the rest of it.

You mean that U-571 wasn't meant to be a comedy?

Let's hope there isn't.
Just saw the trailer.

Off the top of my head:
Operation Petticoat
Yellow Submarine ;P

Watched "Operation Petticoat" a few weeks ago on TCM with the kids.
Pretty funny movie.
Of course, has anyone seen an unfunny movie directed by Blake Edwards?

Operation Petticoat...great movie! (my screen name is the The Pink Submarine after all)
A classy comedy.

How was U-900? I've had my eye on that movie for sometime now...
