An actual collision at see would never have these results, but... It is obvious that the sub is a full scale prop and in one shot it is possible to see the rear end of the mock-up just at the upper right of the shot. I have come to the conclusion that the DE was a mock-up of that part of the starboard side and not a real DE placed in dry dock with the movie sub. Still it is a very convincing full size piece of the DE. Not strictly a model, but still good magic.B Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300252610902647490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601090335485436846.post-91666135462835822892020-03-14T19:37:38.019+08:002020-03-14T19:37:38.019+08:00Your right.
