I saw a quick flash yellow on a sub up in Norfolk in early 2004 when I bought Imzadi. My boat had been berthed behind Willoughby Spit at the marina on the Norfolk Navy Base.
I wonder if having a distinct light pattern at all wasn’t the source of a lot of discussion in the government. After all, a submarine is all about stealth, so why broadcast what you are with a special light pattern? I recall it as quick yellow and on all the time back then, but I think the pattern has been changed to three yellow flashes and a pause. Frankly I hope I never see one again. The wake from a surfaced submarine is wicked.

Or you could open a seacock and be a submarine… :^) I saw a quick-flashing yellow only once, while in Lahaina, Maui returning from a night-dive; there was a U.S. Navy sub coming in for shore leave. Pretty distinctive light pattern.

So far the only times it has been used are once to mark the boat in a crowded anchorage when I would be coming back to it late at night, and to mark the boat when it was being used as the RC boat is a couple of night races.
