the hulk of a big, powerful Japanese sub sent on a desperate mission to destroy San Francisco in the last days of World War II.

Hmmm, I wonder why they were interested in San Francisco rather than a really important target like Newport Beach or Malibu. Like anyone would even notice an attack on San Francisco.

I don't think Newport Beach or Malibu were on people's radar screens back in 1945.

I seem to remember that waterfront homes on Lido Island in Newport Beach were selling for $5,000 in 1955.

Now those same homes would sell for $3.5 million, minimum.
