Stingray! Followed by the Seaview.

The Sea Tiger from "Operation Petticoat"--sunk before its first war cruise, reflated and running on stolen parts. As their chief mechanic puts it, "I'm a religious man, Captain, and I believe we'll get through if the Good Lord puts His mind to it. Of course, He'll have to give us His undivided attention."

The Disney version of Nemo's Nautilus.

I even have one for my Christmas tree.

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2023 6:52 a.m. PST

Also need to add Lady Go Diver, the submarine from The New Adventures of the Mad Scientists Club, which features the club I wanted to be in when I was a boy. I guess I found it with my friends, though we never made a submarine— unless you count a fully submerged Coleman plastic canoe.

I don't know how it's not the Nautilus for nearly everyone. It's probably good news that Nemo is too dark for people.

Disco Joe08 Aug 2023 9:58 a.m. PST

I also agree U-96 from Das Boot.

Must agree, Disney's "Nautilus" is the most romantic, compelling, and perfectly Victorian vessel ever.

If I were filthy rich, I'd spend the money to make my personal study an exact copy of Nemo's. (Though I'd need to build an enormous aquarium alongside so my iris window could give me that view!)

Old school Nautilus

Tgerritsen Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2023 1:40 p.m. PST

Skydiver was pretty cool, but I have to say Disney's Nautilus is the first that really came to mind.

jurgenation Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2023 2:57 p.m. PST

Seaview

Bismarck08 Aug 2023 3:34 p.m. PST

Disney's Nautilus.

Buck21508 Aug 2023 4:20 p.m. PST

Seaview. Gotta love the adventures Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane put her through and survived. When the Flying Sub came along the adventures went from serious Cold War fun into fun science fiction!

Major Mike08 Aug 2023 4:48 p.m. PST

Just can't stop thinking of Professor Fate's sub from The Great Race.

Seaview

Personal logo gamertom Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2023 7:45 p.m. PST

Disney's Nautilus (though the one from the original comic of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is pretty cool).

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP09 Aug 2023 6:44 a.m. PST

Red October (I'll allow some pedant to point out the name in Russia.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, it's Красный Октябрь, "Krasnyy Oktyabr"
IIRC, the movie made the first word "Krazny". Might be time to watch it again.

And the Red October would thus be my #3 choice.

Another Disney's "Nautilus" here. What a beautiful concept!

The Incredible Mr. Limpet

Ushakov LPL Flying Submarine – The Soviets tried to build it for a while, but never actually finished one (as opposed to the "fictional" KubelPanzer, where one was built, if never used). Does theoretical = fictional?

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band's vessel.

1. Seaview (upgraded with flying sub)

2. Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (were the illustrations in the copy I had as a boy copies of those from Jules Verne's time? I don't know, but I loved them)
