Down Periscope - Anchors Aweigh 

You can still visit her in San Francisco, I’ve done it it’s pretty cool

@@robertdarnell5141 Yes. Beautiful boat for sure. Took my son there when he was about 12. She is one of the best representations of the Balao/Gato class sub still in existence.

@@robertdarnell5141 Yea, but then I'd have to go to San Francisco. Can't they move it?

@@jimdandy8119 Reportedly they had to tow her for all the outside shots of movement.

@@jimdandy8119 if you go, you’ll prolly drop all the anti-California sentiment. It’s an amazing place.

first class!

quality has no expiration date!

Yea, I doubt they would be running the diesels without the crank case covers on.

Didn't they remove the props as the compromise for keeping the engines functional?

Yup. Heck, I dated a Lt. Lake type of lady for a while (she was a pilot, not a submarine officer, and more confident from the get-go, but the same type of doggedly determined). She’s still a great friend and I‘m privileged to know her. Always think of her when watching this movie. I guess that’s why this flick is such a service favorite; there is always someone great you knew that pops to mind when watching this. OK, so I served in the Army, but still. You Navy folks are all right, too. 😉

Personally I found it pointless then and I really hate it now. If I were in Captain Dodge’s place, the crew would conduct alternating Field Day and Health and Comfort inspections under Mr. Pascal’s supervision until her proper uniform was returned to her.

@@FS2K4Pilot Having had an XO like Mr Pascal,there would have been a LOT of re-inspections & a couple because the guy standing by was not in proper uniform of the day. "Sir,I'm cleaning the head...."

@@doughesson That’s the idea.

It's not pointless it's a joke, & It also shows that Lt. Lake doesn't "fit in" with the rest of the crew in the beginning. It gives Lt Lake & the crew characters room to grow and empathize with each other later in the film. I don't know why someone wouldn't like that? Maybe doesn't fit your sense of humor but it's not pointless.

I want to add a salute to the background Fleet. Movie in 1996. I bet half of the background fleet served in the Gulf War of 1990 to 1991.

@@wfoj21 You probably shaved with that cruiser in the background this morning.

Nautilus is enjoying her retirement years out there too.

My late grandfather's city too: Newport News VA. Newport News Shipbuilding to be exact

Funniest scene in the movie involved Buckman the cook. Love this movie and have it in my collection.

I disagree but to be honest I don't know whom to pick as "best as so many of the actors played their characters so well.

they should have made a sequel.

Maverick for the naval air arm McHale for the surface fleet Dodge for the silent service

Anytime man o7

@@Kakashirevan This is definitely the best version of this song I've heard

By todays standards, these kinds of submarines are not only outdated but actually dangerous to the safety of the crew. Submarines nowadays are shaped the way they are in order to reduce their sonar cross sections and try to stay hidden from sensors.

@@GlamorousTitanic21 All true but it still makes for ugly boats.

It's a completely different design philosophy. Modern boats are designed to spend the majority of their time submerged; hydrodynamics is a much bigger factor. Boats like Stingray, or USS Pampanito, the museum boat that played Stingray, were designed to spend the majority of their time above the water, submerging only for recon or to attack.

@@NavyGuy2OO7 Yes. Because subs back then were diesel-powered and had to surface to recharge their batteries. With a nuclear-powered submarine, forget it. As they spend almost 99% of their deployment underwater.

@@GlamorousTitanic21 As I said all true, doesn't take away from their lines and looks though.

And USS Rustoleum😂

@@highwayman8180yes! lol. Hilarious!

Great rendition of “Anchors Away”

I've been TRYING to find this particular rendition of "Anchors Aweigh" for a CYLON'S AGE! (I'd like to play it, while I'm watching either "Star Trek: TNG episode, that has Geordi LaForge, as Chief Engineer, or the "ST: DS9" episode, "Defiant". That has Miles O'Brien, as the Chief engineer of the USS Defiant!)

Did you look in the end credits? It should be listed with the rest of the music used in the movie.

There still one Balao class submarine in ACTIVE SERVICE, which is in the Taiwanese (ROC) navy.

Just like the Eagle the coasties have!

definately something the Naval academy students can take out sit right beside the Constitution.

There are several World War II Fleet Submarines that are museum ships including the Pampanito which is in San Francisco.

Agreed, Only a few Balao class museum boats now... former USS Georgia 729

There is a partial deleted scene which did not make the cut. You can read it in the original script online.

Yes, because push up Bras don't exist

Pass go blue ray

@@dam1041960 blue ray can die for all I care

📀

Only if they put in the GAG REEL! DAMNIT! CDR Dodge: "Driver's license? Credit Card?

Right.

@@ashman187 "Right!" *[minutes before being eaten by a xenomorph]*

Rip Torn was another cast member on this movie who is also gone now.

@@Frankie-O True

😂yeah, I guess that's like hearing "Blood on the Risers" at Airborne trainings 😂😂

Now she's beautiful.

It was mainly used to sink Japanese shipping. Hitting another submarine was pretty difficult, but some did it.

I was just reading the wikipedia page and, well sort of. It depends which sub you mean. The USS Stingray was an actual submarine during World War II and belonged to the Salmon Class submarines. These were built in the 1930s and were the first American submarines to fight in battle against the Japanese during the war. However, they had certain technical problems, so they were phased out in favor of newer submarines. The submarine that the audience sees in the film is the USS Pampanito which was a Balao Class submarine. It had a very distinguished career during and after the war. However, one of the most notable incidents is that the crew accidentally torpedoed a ship carrying 1350 British and Australian POWs most of whom died. It has been a museum ship since 1975.

This particular ship was really good at killing alied troops.

Still an awesome shot seeing her take to the water, under her own power or not.

And the helicopter blades, lol...

looked like you can just barely see the tow cable attached to the very front of the hull, about midway down as the camera is zooming out.

I never noticed that before! You can just see the wake in that last shot!

Nitpicking comment at bearing 2 7 0, ready countermeasures. 😂

It was!

@@tstahler5420 15 aircraft carriers , the most since WW2 4 battleships Nuclear powered cruisers Numerous SSbn submarines more then today's numbers Oliver hazard Perry frigates Sprucan destroyers

@@venatorclass9334 I was stationed on a tender at Point Loma, in SD. It was amazing watching the different classes of ships go by. I even got to see a BB or 2. We still had an active diesel boat, the USS Blueback. She was the last and is now on display in Oregon, I believe. I think they filmed some of Red October on her. Those were great years to be in the Navy. Don't get me started on the aircraft. So many great aircraft in service back then.

I think from here www.what-song.com/Movies/Soundtrack/103746/Down-Periscope let me know if that works

@@Kakashirevan Yeah, this version performed by the Men of the Concert Choir, University of Southern California, but there is no way to find or listen it (

@@Kakashirevan Same, the link doesn't get you to the song

Shoe horn and axle grease. Lol.

whiskey will keep em going

@@siberianbull9 Proof?

Those are Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston Diesels. Ain't no valves on them pal!

@@siberianbull9 Nah, it surely was vodka

never seen a sub's engine go (although I've been on this particular sub! IRL she's the Pampanito, anchored in San Francisco, they give tours) but I've seen a naphta engine on an oceanic tug go and they do move that slow and are pretty much self lubricating... like a 2 stroke vespa engine! Only about 1000x the size and 100x as slow.

In the UK, Amazon will let you buy or rent the digital streaming version. As that is likely based on an agreement with the rights holder, that is probably available most places. It’s also worth seeing if anyone you have a streaming contract with (Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc) has it for your region. You can also try Amazon for a physical copy, or local second hand shops.

@@DanielsPolitics1 Ah thanks, Got the physical copy in my local store yesterday, got the laser disc version. Worth every penny :D

From dive officer to director ... Lol

Nooo, Lt. Emily Lake, is Jenny Shepard's twin sister! When NCIS Director Jenny Sheppard, 'learned' about what happened, to Lt. Lake, she 'requested' that SA Leroy Jethro Gibbs, 'look' into the matter.

They did. The USS Pampanitos engines are kept in working order.

In the Navy, an 0-3 is a Lieutenant. 0-1 is an Ensign and an 0-2 is a LT jg (junior grade).

Still super unsat uniform.

There was foul play.

Because a Lt. in the Navy is not like a Lt. in the Army or Marine Corps, just like a Captain. In the Navy a Captain is like a full Bird Col in the Army.

Lieutenants in the Navy is similar to Captain in the Army-Marines-Air Force.

There are pros and cons to both nuke and diesel/electric designs. 90% of the decision usually comes down to cost and nuclear technology available.

I wonder what a new electric boat could do..small turbine generators (like an aircraft APU) drawing air through a snorkel, supercapacitors and lithium batteries, everything designed to be as little electrical draw as possible.. or even just fuel cells..pour diesel in, get electricity and water out, with almost no moving parts, noise, or emissions. but anyone with the capabilities to do all this will just build a nuke boat...

@@warhorse03826 Nuke boats are teakettles and make noise, a sub running on batteries, especially with a new smooth hull is extremely quiet.

@@mikeking7470 Only so long as their batteries last. When they need to snorkel to recharge, EVERYBODY knows where they are. But even nukes can go quiet for silent running, by powering down unnecessary systems, and running the reactor with passive convection cooling.

@@warhorse03826 Fuel cells don't use diesel. They use hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water. It's the reverse of hydrolysis.
