In fact, because of my daily hobby, I always like to find out the location of various shots or scenes in a movie or TV series (whether in a fictional world or in reality. ), Sainte Marina is no exception (although it is known to be virtual).
If you follow the chronological order and location given in the play, Colorado's track is probably like this:
In the first episode, Colorado's task is to pick up The SEAL team performing tasks in Pakistan can infer that she should be in the offshore waters of Pakistan. In addition to the obvious reasons, there are two points that can be confirmed. 1. Pakistan's F-22P class F251 Zulfikar frigate appeared on the radar. On the screen; 2. The captain said that the submarine seemed to appear on the highway (important waterway), and the Pakistani sea just connected to the Gulf of Oman, which is the outlet of the Persian Gulf. In the next scene of the submarine crossing the equator, Shepard gave very clear position information. When Colorado almost entered the southern hemisphere, the position was "1012 klick south west of Sri Lanka". Through triangulation, the position of the submarine at that time can be known. The latitude and longitude is about 0, E73°15' to 0, E74°. This location is in the territorial waters of the Maldives, next to Foammulah Island. (The current position is about 1,400 nautical miles away from where they appeared last time. Based on the Ohio-class cruise speed of 25 knots, it has been 56 hours since they connected to SEAL...) This is followed by the plot of their disobedience, So when they were attacked by Illinois' battle axe, the approximate position was still the same.
After that, Colorado occupied the island of Sainte Marina. The play did not give any information about the exact location. The official website only gave a very inaccurate relationship map of characters and locations, so I searched online again. The brief introductions of everyone (including the wiki) tend to describe this as a virtual island in the Indian Ocean, and it is French. Since there is no evidence to support these judgments, I have to go back to the film to find out.
In the later episodes, the information collected is that the island is not a British colony, which can be seen from the local vehicles, and the most important thing is the funeral footage, from the island footage and the songs sung by the islanders, probably It can be seen that the island believes in Christianity, speaks English with a strange accent, and sings the Melanesian folk song Soon my lord. The song used at the funeral should be a local folk song, right? And Sainte Marina's location in the Melanesian Islands is also in line with the film's female bartender, Tani, who is a foreshadowing of Australian and local Aboriginal ancestry.
However, the NATO outpost in Sainte Marina in the film is monitoring the enemy situation in the Indian Ocean and the location of Colorado when it was attacked. The above inference is a bit far-fetched. After all, the straight-line distance between the Maldives and the Melanesian Islands is still 4,000 nautical miles. , In addition, the submarine is damaged and cannot move at full speed. In 20 knots, it takes 200 hours to rush from the attacked site to the island, which is 8 and a half days. . .
Writing here, I find that I still haven't figured out where the screenwriters have virtualized the island. Of course, the screenwriters may also piece together various tropical island elements that are not responsible. I believe that as the plot unfolds later, there will be more and more clear clues, allowing us to find the focus of this world.
(Hey, it's purely an essay at night, everyone is welcome to discuss, please be merciful haha)
