According to wikipedia there was a 1950's TV series called 'The Silent Service' that had an episode about USS Tang, unfortunately I can't find it on netflix or amazon, that would be great to see on DVD if it could be found.
As for a low budget direct to DVD movie with bad reviews, where you might actually have to enter a walmart to get it, I think I will pass.
