According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_Voyage#Exploration_submarine_names_.2819 87.E2.80.931998.29)it was 1987. They changed the theme from nuclear war subs to scientific explorer subs. I guess the cold war ending made the theme more fitting.

Wikipedia strikes again! According to the Disneyland Line this week (CM magazine), they were painted yellow in 1986. The theme change at the same time is correct, though.

Well, thanks guys, I'll take Disney's own newsletter as the gold standard here, so 86 it is... cool... I was 19 .... PanFan, did they happen to mention the day/date the change was done? Thanks.
