![]() ![]() Wikipedia says that it originally appeared as a 4-part series The Last Days on Earth in a British newspaper and was rewritten for the novel. Nothing else matches but there may be a reason for that: In the novel there is one other surviving submarine, USS Swordfish in the Atlantic, which sends a couple of messages but is otherwise not involved in the plot. The submarine visits San Francisco (but everyone is dead there). A nuclear war in the northern hemisphere has produced a radioactive cloud which is remorselessly spreading south. ![]() The submarine is running further and further south in the Pacific to find surviving people. ![]() It was made into a major film (Gregory Peck as the submarine captain) and remade in 2000 as a TV film. This was a 1957 novel by mainstream author Nevil Shute. This is likely to be On the Beach, sort of. ![]()
