Somewhere I have a picture of me on the conning tower of that sub. The Navy rented it to the film producers for like $1 and when it was over they painted it gray again but you could still see pink streaks around the ballast tanks vents. It was towed back to old Long Beach Navy Yard and sat there for years.
Pretty cool piece of personal trivia.
I had the boyhood dream of owning one of those WW2 subs when I grew up.
Lord only knows the trouble I would have gotten into with it.
