    I was on the Nuclear SSN Narwhal. She had special equipment different than other sisters in the engine room to keep her quiet .

    ... The Narwhal Had a very big deck gun. I believe it was a six incher.

      I believe U R correct and I think they also changed the surface gun out on maybe the Gato??? one of em had a skipper that was a surface brawler and the crew like shot out a few 4&5 inch guns. I am desperately trying to remember which sub that is. The partial story is here in Silent Serv but it does not give the right impression of the Captain liking surface fights.

    After viewing these episodes I can always say: "Well done." I was on the USS Fox (DLG-33) Vietnam 1967-68. ☮

    Something didn't quite seem right. I'm Army, and am aware that the Army, Navy, and Marines all have a centuries-old tradition for vulgarism. That man on the stern planes should have used an applied vulgarism to unstick the stern planes. Was this edited out of the script to appease the network censors?

      These films were very very strictly supervised edited by both the Navy and Department of defense and they were then produced & stitch edited in labs at Western Electric plant in Allentown Pa. I know my father worked there in the department post war. I have a pic of my Dad in those labs with Admiral Bill. Admiral Bill did a short lived RADIO VOICE Bell Telephone commercial recorded there and one on the west coast in Bell Labs in Calif. circa 1952 I believe. Some of this series was not released until the summer of 1955. Alotta ppl didn't even have a TV yet. Hence there R really early versions produced in the late summer of 1949 that is where ya hear the dive siren in the beginnings. Folks didn't quite cure regular yet back then. The reasons my generation a rap in the teeth if ya did it at home.... This was a weird post series it did not have a season premier like many series did in the later 50s and 60s. This series was fragmented from about 1952 thru 1955 as far as what my parents tell me that both worked at Western Electric in Allentown Pa.

      The very first movie I ever saw where a sailor sounded like a sailor under stress was "The Final Countdown." In it I actually heard a sailor say "We're F----ed." Now, not much is censored.

    That's an excellent place to put sickly contagious POWs, in an enclosed submarine.

      My cousin (he made the death march from Bataan) was one of those 79 men. he drowned a wounded Japanese soldier to get his life jacket. there would have been more survivors but the Japanese soldiers were shooting pows in the water. USS Paddle was the sub that sank his freighter , the shino or shinyo maru i am not sure of the spelling. Cletus Overton was his name. he said the sailors were pretty excited when the bow planes stuck. One of those surivors stayed back and worked the radio for the guerillas since he was a radio man.. And a Sub was the only safe way in and out.
