Dating to season 1 in 1957, this episode of "The Silent Service" is titled "The Seahorse Story". It was directed by Jean Yarbrough and written by Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers. It is also hosted by Dykers. The cast includes John Hubbard, Peter Hansen, Stuart Whitman, Joey Forman, Ken Mayer, Joe Conley and Nelson Leigh.
This episode is based on real events that took place in 1945. The USS Seahorse is on its seventh wartime patrol, assigned to chart a Japanese minefield in the Tsushima Strait between Japan and Korea. The submarine has been equipped with a top secret mine detector (FM sonar) to help with the work.
USS Seahorse (SS-304) was a Balao-class submarine. The boat received nine battle stars for World War II service.
Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
