The SS Chivalry was a British freighter sunk by a Japanese submarine in the Indian Ocean in 1944.
On 22 February, the Chivalry was sunk in the Indian Ocean. The Japanese submarine then circled the survivors in two lifeboats, raking them with machine gun fire. An 8mm movie camera (Standard 8) was used to record this act. After 37 days in an open boat, 38 survivors were rescued by cargo liner MV Delane.
