The very first Submarine Voyage ride opened in Disneyland in June of 1959, the same day that The Matterhorn and The Monorail opened. Submarine Voyage was a replacement for the less popular Phantom Boat Ride, which consisted of gasoline powered boats that often stalled, leaving visitors stuck in the middle of the lagoon. Walt Disney believed that earth’s oceans were the “Last Frontier” so he proposed the idea of a voyage through liquid space at Disneyland.

Although the SSN force has been cut by nearly 40 percent since 1994, the volume of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance [ISR] mission tasking directed to the Submarine Force has more than doubled. The the attack submarine has been a valuable platform for surveillance, intelligence, and warning. This capability comes from the submarine's ability to enter an area to watch, to listen, to collect information without being seen. While satellites and aircraft are used to garner various types of information, their operations are inhibited by weather, cloud cover, and the locations of collection targets. In some situations it is difficult to keep a satellite or aircraft in a position to conduct sustained surveillance of a specific area. And satellites and aircraft are severely limited in their ability to observe or detect underwater activity.

Walt Disney’s Submarine Voyage featured diesel powered submarines that followed an underwater track through an ocean with hundreds of animatronic plants and sea creatures. In 1965 Disneyland had real women in mermaid costumes floating around the submarine portholes, but the “mermaids” started getting sick from the chemicals in the water, so in 1967 Disneyland had to rely solely on it’s animatronics to give guests the thrill of seeing mermaids.
