The story of the Submarine Branch of the Royal Navy told by those who served in it from the earliest times to the present day
The launch of Britain's first nuclear submarine, H.M.S. Dreadnought on Trafalgar Day, 1960, by Her Majesty the Queen starts a new chapter in the history of the British Navy and its submarines.
In this programme submariners of all ranks and of all ages recall the adventures and misadventures, triumphs and disasters of ' The Boats' in all the seas of the world, since the very first British submarines became operational nearly sixty years ago. Narrator,
Captain Anthony Kimmins O.R.E., R.N.
