Question
QUESTION:  I remember watching a weekly tv show featuring men on a submarine in the war.. Had to be in the 50's. All I can remember is "up periscope" and "dive, dive" as dialogue but the story line featured the same group of soldiers each week.  This is driving me nuts trying to remember the sitcom's name.

ANSWER: i beleive you are looking for either Mchales Navy or Sgt Bilko -- both were comedies --- go take a peek at those shows, if not let me know and ill research it in depth. Try also Sea Hunt  or Voyage to the bottom of the sea  -- but those wern't really army related -- hope this helps

QUESTION: Thank you for the suggestions, I remember those two shows, but this was a true war story. Serious combat at sea...It seems the beginning and ending of the show had the submarine coming up out of the water..I remember thinking (even though it was in black and white)how green/blue the water must be..I don't even like ships and such but this show really kept me interested...Thanks again for your time. I hope the name comes back to me sometime soon.
ANSWER: any chance it could have been called coronet blue?

QUESTION: Don't think it was coronet blue I would have remembered that...What was Sea Hunt about? I know this was a war program...not a comedy...Wish I could remember.

Answer
i wish i could find your answer -- i have not come across the series -- ideas -- tvguide offers a question section,or if you have time look up the complete prime time directory of television -- authors last name is Marsh -- or you can look around the imdb.com and see if u can find it in a search -- good luck
