Balao, I suppose. She was played by three different ones in the movie, but the setting of the movie was way too early for a Balao.

Quote:
The Sea Tiger in the movie was portrayed by three different American Balao-class submarines:
* Queenfish (SS-393), in the opening and closing scenes (circa 1959), in which the "393" on the conning tower is visible,
* Archerfish (SS-311), for all the WWII scenes where the boat was painted the standard gray and black,
* Balao (SS-285), for all the scenes in which Sea Tiger was painted pink.
