Run Silent, Run Deep

Which was, if I recall correctly, one of the inspirations for Balance of Terror.

Balance of Terror is a clone of Enemy Below, not much to do with Run Silent, Run Deep.

If you are looking for something a little different, you might try the movie “Battle Circus” Humphrey Bogart, June Allison and Keenan Wyn 1950’s B/W set during the Korean War.

MASH #8666.
(There is a colorized version, but I haven’t seen it yet.)

The love story is dated, but a lot of action scenes, both combat and set up/teardown of a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital several times. Also extensive scenes of helicopter activity, personnel transfer, scouting and wounded soldiers evacuations under fire.

Even a few scenes that made it in to the tv sitcom MASH years later.

Worth a look even if it doesn’t rate a top ten list slot.

Noted:

I just checked, Iran does not have the ability to load liquified natural gas on to tankers, it apparently requires refrigeration equipment that Iran couldnt get due to sanctions.

Gasoline and natural gas are exported by pipelines through neighboring countries, Turkey being a significant portion of the exports via pipelines… though I found conflicting numbers of the amounts exported. (Could be a translation issue…)

For those people in Massachusetts today, Sail Boston parade of tall ships is happening.

Per google:” The Sail Boston 2026 Parade of Sail is the massive opening event for the tall ships festival. The parade runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Boston Harbor.

It features the famous USS Constitution leading a giant fleet of ships from Broad Sound into the inner harbor.Over 50 international tall ships and military vessels participate in the celebration.

Notable vessels in the lineup include:Amerigo Vespucci (Italy)
ARA Libertad (Argentina)
Sagres (Portugal)
Gorch Fock (Germany)
Dar Młodzieży (Poland)
BAP Unión (Peru)
Esmeralda (Chile)
USCGC Eagle (United States)

You can watch this amazing parade from Castle Island, the Seaport District, East Boston, and Charlestown. Check out the Meet Boston Parade of Sail or the Sail Boston Events page for more details.”

It is claimed by the media that the U.S.S. Constitution (sailing frigate) will lead the parade, but other reports indicate only one sail will be set (due to concerns of over straining the ship’s structure and masts.). The old Ironsides will be towed by a tug into the harbor for the festivities, this being the first time the ship has set a sail since 2012, the other attempt in 1997.
