Broaching Submarine on the Opening video in the "Victory At Sea" series.
In watching this video I perceive that the submarine broaching is prehaps the USS Medregal, SS-480. Can you or anyone confirm this?

 * This was a triumph of early TV. Excellent music by Bennett and his collaborator and the NBC Symphony. The film editors, however, would use any footage they came across to satisfy the need for video, and what was on the screen was rarely an accurate depiction of the actual event described, since documentary moviemakers were not hovering over every scene of conflict. Training exercises, Hollywood movies, reenactments, propaganda films, and movies of totally unrelated events were fair game. Edison (talk) 04:44, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
