best submarine naval-style Trek episodes

[jefferiestubes8]

Other than TOS episode Balance of Terror

The plot of this episode is based on the 1957 movie The Enemy Below, with the Enterprise taking the part of the American destroyer and the Bird-of-Prey with its cloaking device taking the part of the submarine.

TOS Balance of Terror #109 was really a cold war submarine movie within Star Trek...

What other Trek TV episodes are most like a submarine movie with mostly naval-type stuff and ship to ship warfare?
Just TV not the films.

I'm not really looking for big TNG space explosions but more of the back and forth between suspense and the 2 captains of enemy ships and their weapons, ships, and tactics.

DS9: "Starship Down"?

The one in the gas giant.

Not a submarine situation but a naval one-- TOS: The Enterprise Incident was inspired by the capture of the USS Pueblo by North Korea on espionage charges in 1968. A famous group photo of the hostages had them all giving the finger to the camera. The North Koreans released it as propaganda, initially unaware of the meaning of the gesture.

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

The outer-space portions of "Redemption, Part II" fit the bill, with Data finding the cloaked Romulan fleet before it could cross into Klingon space.

"Defiant" is another good one, with Sisko utilizing his knowledge of Defiant's systems to track her down.

[Shawnster]

Star Trek VI with the BOP that can fire while cloaked and the homing torpedo that ultimately destroys it.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

TOS "The Doomsday Machine"
TNG "The Wounded"
ENT "Azati Prime"

 

[trekshark]

the Mutara Nebula combat portions of TWOK, especially with Kirk using all three dimensions to "dive" and then "surface" behind the Reliant

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Y'all, the OP disqualified TWOK and TUC.

Just TV not the films.

Otherwise, I'd've picked TWOK.

DS9: "Starship Down"?

The one in the gas giant.

That was the first one that came to mind, outside of TOS. The fact that the Defiant detected torpedoes in the "water" and tried to avoid them is classic submarine.

Plus, I love that a torpedo got lodged in the hull, and that it was up to Quark to save the day (though I'm not sure how realistic it would've been. If it happened on a submarine, the place would flood, wouldn't it?)

The Wounded always left me with a "Hunt for Red October" feeling.

 

[f14peter]

The Galileo Seven, the smaller craft lost, marooned on a desert isle, seven stranded castaways ... um, forget that part. The poor surviving lost souls only rescued by their ship through a desperate measure, the metaphorical "Shooting up a flare"
