The Silent Service was narrated by Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after twenty-two years of service. He began each episode with this refrain: \"Tonight, we bring you another thrilling episode of Silent Service stories, of warfare under the sea.\"\n\nMany of the episodes focused on the history of specific submarines, including:\n\n⁕USS Sculpin\n\n⁕USS Nautilus, the first atomic submarine\n\n⁕USS Perch\n\n⁕USS Tang\n\n⁕USS S-38\n\n⁕USS Tirante\n\n⁕USS Bergall\n\n⁕USS Spearfish\n\n⁕USS Triton\n\n⁕USS Wahoo, and\n\n⁕USS Gato, subject of the series finale.\n\nActors appearing on The Silent Service included Russell Johnson, cast three times in the role of the character \"Beach\". DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy appeared in two episodes each as Lieutenant Commander James Dempsey and as Sonarman, respectively. Jerry Paris and Liam Sullivan each guest starred twice.
