Greyhound starring Tom Hanks, based on C S Forester’s The Good Shepherd, the NASOH Movie Review

What happens when you bring four naval historians on a Saturday afternoon to discuss the latest naval movie - Greyhound - starring Tom Hanks, based on the classic C S Forester book The Good Shepherd? You get a critical assessment on whether the depiction of the convoy battle in the movie Greyhound is accurate, and a lot of laughter. Sal Mercogliano, the host of the North American Society for Oceanic History (NASOH) video/podcast hosted, Dr. Chuck Steele of the US Air Force Academy, Dr. David Kohnen of the Naval War College, and Dr. Joseph Moretz an independent scholar on the Royal Navy. They examine how faithful was the movie to the book, how accurate were the scenes of convoy battles and anti-submarine battle, a discussion on the difficulties the Allies faced in waging war, and what exactly was the Battle of the Atlantic. Finally, they delved into what the next Battle of the Atlantic movie should look like - Hollywood producers should take note. There were also a lot of gratuitous mentio
