- GODZILLA (1998)
The Return of Godzilla
When Godzilla approached a Soviet nuclear submarine with intent to destroy it, the captain mistook him for a Los Angeles-class submarine.
GODZILLA (1998)
After Godzilla escaped the military's trap in Central Park, he fled into the ocean, where the Navy was ready to attack him. Three nuclear submarines, two Ohio-class submarines and USS Anchorage had been waiting to attack. Anchorage managed to lock onto Godzilla and launched a torpedo at him. Godzilla managed to swim underneath the incoming weapon, barely dodging it. However, the torpedo was still locked on, and the monster led it back towards its source. Godzilla's scutes tore the vessel's hull, and in a few seconds, the torpedo hit the submarine, sinking it. The two Ohio-class subs were left to fight him.

Trivia
- No submarine in the U.S. Navy has ever borne the name Anchorage in real life. The name has been used by two dock landing ships, however, the first of which was still in commission at the time of GODZILLA (1998)'s release.
