As the submarines have no pennant number it is almost imposible to tell.
But the general look (esp. the location fo diving planes) of the submarine fits the look of USS San Francisco. Therefore IMHo it is USS S.F.
Now confirmed as USS S.F.

I suppose, unlike the submarine, the career of the skipper of San Francisco did not survive the underwater collision.
More details come to surface: The submarine was returning to her homeport in Guam form a port visit in Brisbane Australia.
