Does This Sub Movie Ring A Bell?

Back when I was a kid... and I'm talking about in the late 50's/early 60's, I remember seeing a sub movie on TV that I've not yet been able track down.

All I remember about it was that an American sub just off shore of what is probably a Japanese base, shoots a torpedo which rides up on the beach and takes out an enemy truck.

Was I dreaming? Does such a movie exist? If so… what’s the name?

Thanks!

a question from the far past. I remember the torpedo running onto the beach and blowing up the truck...take a look at Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant as the commander. And the best use of a 1940s bassiere to save the sub.

Yes! And the Captain recorded in his log: Sighted Tanker, Sank Truck! Three cheers for Lt. Crandall (Joan O'Brien)! And this was the one with the PINK Submarine! Hilarious!
