Any others to add to the list.....
 
Most of thosde (standfast the "Yamato" one which I think was a lost opporunity for greatness, but still OK).

"U-571" and "Pearl Harbor" would definitely NOT be on the list!!! :D
 
"Battle of the River Plate" is probably unique in having two of the actual ships from the real battle taking part in the film. (HMS Exeter and Graf Spee could not be present for obvious reasons.)

More nominations:
"Under Ten Flags", 1960, Van Heflin, Charles Laughton
