Reminds me of a movie I've seen in theaters back in 2018: Some Russians take
over their own country, takingtheir president hostage. Good thing they all spoke English amongst themselves, as unbeknownst to them, the US was listening on a secret radio frequency even some folks involved in this mission didn't know of before, and of course the US steps in and saves the day. Hooray!-
Was that the submarine one?

Yep. There was a submarine, alright. ::: spoiler Spoiler alert, It wasn't the US submarine bombing Russia's. :::

The Ducktales comics uses a similar reason in an earlier adventure when the protagonists meet some underwater folk. e.e"
(iirc they give a footnote saying "we're translating for the readers' ease to understad")
