Does anyone know the name of the submarine in the 1968 movie "Ice Station Zebra"? It seems to be some kind of Guppy Class Nuclear boat but I cannot identify it. What class of submarine is this and how many were built? Any information appreciated.

The fictional nuclear-powered submarine Tigerfish (SSN-509) was
portrayed in the movie by the diesel-electric Guppy IIA class sub USS
Ronquil (SS-396) when seen on the surface. For submerging and
surfacing scenes, the diesel-electric Guppy IA USS Blackfin (SS-322)
was used, near Pearl Harbor. The underwater scenes used a model of a Skate-class nuclear submarine.
