I think they oversold it "completely authentic" -- my ass! Nice, but only about 40% authentic I say! Oh well, we will see it in other films! But as a BB???

Floyd:
A BB is Navy shorthand for Battleship. CA-heavy cruiser, CL light cruiser, SS for sub, etc.
The ad for the set elements said it is a completely authentic submarine set. Well it will remind you of a sub, but it doesn't look exactly like any fleet boat I've seen. But when the movie magic is added (as in DOWN PERISCOPE) it can pass I guess.
