Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the opening scene, the boy in the raft says that he can hear airplanes, which turn out to be PT boats. Many of the WWII PT boats were powered by airplane engines. Specifically, marinized versions of the Packard 3A-2500 V12 aircraft engine, designated the 3M-2500 (the "M" stands for Marine), the 4M-2500, and the 5M-2500 variants, each with higher power and other improvements.
- GoofsWhen the PT boat is rescuing survivors and they spot a U-boat, the young boy who was being hauled aboard the PT boat is wearing a life-jacket. The close up in the next shot shows Lt Stewart lifting the boy up to put him back in the lifeboat. The boy is no longer wearing the life-jacket. In the following shot, as Lt. Stewart completes putting him back into the lifeboat, the boy is again wearing the life-jacket.

Featured review
Crash Dive was one of many films to be released during WWII. Its pluses are good acting, supplied by Tyrone Power, Anne Baxter and Dana Andrews and award winning special effects. The story takes place in and around our then American sub base in New London Ct. In between battles with the German navy, a love story evolves with Tyrone Power and Dana Andrews after the same woman played by Anne Baxter.James Gleason is a bonus as one of the sub's seasoned crew memebers.
