Had this one pop up in my subs from the tube,dunno if it's been posted before but thought I'd bring it up in case not as it's well worth a view if you have an interest in the fleet boats.
Runs just shy of 1 and 1/2 hours so bring plenty popcorn :

Interesting one of those interviewed in the docu is Captain Ken Ruiz, I read his book "The Luck of the Draw" a while back, great read.Ruiz, a green Ensign survived the Battle of Savo Island after his cruiser USS Vincennes was sunk.Plucked from the water and sent to Pearl Harbor, he volunteered for submarine service and ended up aboard the USS Pollack in 1943.Outdated, he managed to survive some wild times in the old Pollack.Great read, highly suggest you guys check it out.
