<HTML>Hi Peter
"CARITE served in the Venezuelan Navy into the 1970's. While in the service of Venezuela, during the filming of the movie "Murphy's War" in 1969 and 1970, the submarine played the part of a German U-boat hiding in the Amazon River. For the role, she was modified by the addition of a "cigarette deck" aft of her sail and was painted in a "dazzle" camouflage pattern. CARITE was decommissioned by the Venezuelan Navy on 28 January 1977 and scheduled to be cannibalized for spare parts."
