Quiz
When the Captain refers to "Huff-Duff," he is referring to high-frequency direction-finding. This was a key method of how Allied naval forces detected and tracked German U-Boats: the Kriegsmarine's U-boat fleet maintained a high amount of radio traffic with its shore command and with each other for their Wolfpack tactics against Allied shipping. Huff-Duff allowed Allied naval ships to detect those radio transmissions and determine the location of those transmitting ships to attack them.

Blooper
One of the German U-boat commanders taunts Greyhound over the radio. This would never have happened in reality. Each Navy ship had a radio signal direction finder and if a U-Boat broke radio silence, triangulation would reveal its exact position.

Citazioni
Gray Wolf: [on radio] Greyhound, good luck surviving the night.

Curiosità sui crediti

Action packed with 1 glaring historical mistake

I will keep this short, I enjoyed the movie, the action and atmosphere was gripping. My only issue was the historically inaccurate scene at the end of the film when you see a troop ship with several thousand men cheering the Greyhound and its captain as they break off screening the convoy. No troop ship would ever sail in a convoy. Troop ships were usually passenger liners which could travel at 25-30 knots. This speed meant that u-boats usually could not target them, most troop ships travelled solo. A convoy could only travel at the speed of its slowest ship which sometimes was only 8-10 knots. The allies would never risk a troop ship under those conditions.
