Yes, there's 6 in a Top 5 +HM.

U-571 isn't one of them.

Down Periscope was the most realistic submarine movie to me so that's number 1

Based on your user name, I can think of one particular scene that probably resonates with you.

[McCroskey 1504]

How deep will she go?

Oh, she’ll go all the way to the bottom if we don’t stop her.

Paxton literally said this 10 mins ago as I watching.

Every submarine movie has a scene where the depth charges start going off and water starts pouring in somewhere until a guy turns the valve and it then stops.

What the hell is that valve doing open in the first place.

I imagine there are several pipes doing the same job, for the sake of redundancy. When one is compromised, it is shut down and the remaining lines stay open.

I like the documentary 1941

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Was a movie first than spawned into a television series with one of the greatest themes.

Quality material of my youth,  not sure it's redeeming your comments i.e. Major League, but it's a start.

Probably main or auxiliary seawater piping.  Pump in seawater to act as a heat exchanger and then pump it out.  The hull is probably the last thing to get compromised.  Flooding is probably going to be from seawater piping
