Life in the Pink

Before I discovered Cary Grant and Tony Curtis in Operation Petticoat, I knew John Astin and the pink submarine from ABC’s 1977 television remake. The original movie was better, but the sitcom had something worth remembering: a real fleet submarine beneath that improbable paint job.
In this episode of Patrol Reports, revisit the short-lived series, Jamie Lee Curtis’s connection to her father’s film, and the remarkable career of USS Roncador (SS-301). Built during World War II, she served as a training submarine before finding an unlikely role as the fictional USS Sea Tiger. Her story connects television nostalgia with a piece of American submarine history that survives at Ballast Point in San Diego.
