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

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???? Edited by SaltiDawg - 20 Apr 2020 at 12:59pm |

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.

Most (all?) of these original SS episodes are on YouTube with the commercials removed. Convenient if you can get it on your TV. Are these better quality? Edited by 610ET - 15 Apr 2020 at 8:17pm |
