Believe it or not, the answer is yes! During WWII, the USS Crevalle (SS-291) was evacuating refugees from the Philippines, and one of her passengers gave birth on the trip to Darwin, Australia.
"Crevalle (SS-291) During a battle in the Pacific, a baby is born aboard the submarine USS Crevalle. He is the son of a Filipino woman being evacuated from the besieged islands. Somewhere in the Philippines today, a young man answers to the name of Elma Walker Crevalle Talcaban. How he received his name provides an absorbing story of wartime heroism aboard a U.S. submarine."
The story is told in an episode of the TV series "The Silent Service."
