In the spring of 1954, fitted with a "dummy" rear fin, "Redfish" played the part of Jules Verne's "Nautilus" in the Walt Disney film "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" where the afterdeck of the "Nautilus" was constructed on the deck of the "Redfish" for a scene where the captain puts visitors out on the deck while the boat submerges. In September 1957, with deck and armament modifications, she played the part of the fictional submarine USS "Nerka" in the 1958 motion picture "Run Silent, Run Deep". She capped her film career by making several appearances in the popular black-and-white television series "The Silent Service".
