Beneath the surface of the oceans lurk the awesome submarines of today’s navies, capable of visiting nuclear destruction in any city, anywhere, any time. Elusive, almost undetectable and indestructible, the modern nuclear submarine remains the most mysterious and deadly weapon yet created.

This program comprehensively traces the development of these ultimate weapons, from earliest beginnings, the greased-leather Drebbel boat of 1620, the miniature    egg-shaped ‘Turtle’ of America’s Revolutionary war, the famous Holland boats the terrors and triumphs of sub warfare in WW1 and WW2, with boats both hunting and hunted, through to today’s Leviathans.

Employing a vast archive of documentary footage ‘Submarine Warfare’ includes film of both nuclear and conventional attack and hunter-killer submarines with full coverage of their weapons systems.
