<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#00008B">Marlin shown backing out of her slip at Submarine Base New London, CT., summer 1942. Details of the uniquely shaped conning tower fairwater and her 3"/50 caliber deck gun can be seen. The open hatch on the last step of the fairwater leads to the after battery compartment/crew's mess, and the open hatch on the aft deck leads to the engine room. Unlike her sister [[204|'''Mackerel''']], Marlin has a very minimal periscope shears structure. There are four [[O-class|'''O-class''']] submarines in the background.

The submarine is deliberately sitting low in the water to facilitate the return of the men in the raft. This scene was filmed on a calm Long Island Sound in the summer of 1942.</span>
