The 10 Most Historically Accurate Naval War Movies According to CBR

The most iconic war movies, such as Full Metal Jacket tend to be about the army as opposed to the navy, but naval war movies are often more realistic. These films often explore themes of isolation and have a claustrophobic atmosphere, which translates well into incredibly tense storytelling. Although less glamorous, many of the best military movies focus on naval warfare. Naval warfare isn't limited to ship-to-ship battles; it also includes aerial raids and submarine attacks. While there may be no perfect naval film in terms of realism, a realistic portrayal requires authentic dialogue, accurate battle tactics, and believable interactions between the characters and their hostile environment.
