610 - I had also heard that she went down pretty deep after her surface, but if you watch the entire video at: https://twitter.com/navalinstitute/status/1246502178631700480  you will see that she stayed safely on the surface after that Emergency Blow.

When the boat slid back down at an angle didn't the stern get pretty deep?

Saltidawg,

It was the Pickerel (SS-524), surfacing at a 48 degree up angle, from a depth of 150 feet, during tests off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii, 1 March 1952.   http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/08524.htm

Convenient if you can get it on your TV.

Are these better quality?





gerry's are at the same res as you tubes - 640-480

Commercials are not included - just a "Insert Commercial Here" flashed on screen. Same as You Tube.

PS What is the name of the boat that is shown in the opening credits? Shown surfacing from deep. Also, I wonder what the circumstances were????

No, sadly the source media (DVDs) I ripped them from were recorded at 640x480. I could upscale them, but the visual quality wouldn't change.

So, Episode II and Trout is going into Corregidor in 1942. Looking for a Bearing To Ft.Drum. They pass the word up to the Bridge that it should bear Bearing 505 degrees...
