This true story of a WW1 submarine accident is so incredibly exciting, you'd think it was fiction. The chief of the boat fails to close an induction valve as they do a routine test dive on its' first cruise, and sends the sub to the bottom in relatively shallow water. The ingenious Captain manages to shift the water within the sub and stand it upright on it's nose and then, by calculating that the tail should be above water, they set out to cut a hole (without proper tools) through the steel before they are overwhelmed by chlorine gas. The race against time, the battle against despair, the bravery of all those involved, including the ship that eventually sees the small white rag the men are waving out of the small hole they made, makes for an excellent adventure with a happy ending. This incident resulted in subsequent subs being equipped with a "Christmas tree" of green lights to verify that all valves and hatches are indeed closed, before they dive the boat.
