How to command a nuclear submarine TV SHOW
 

I just finished watching the first episode on TV. So far it looks good. It is interesting to see how it really looks to take command over nuclear submarine. What's your impression about the show? Personally, I can't wait to watch next episode. :DL

Loved it :DL

It gets more interesting, since the exercises become more elaborate and dificult

Oh man..... First response and it's from Slovenia. :D:yeah:
I agree with you, it's only the beginning.
I did not know that there are people from the region here.:o VEEEELIKI POZDRAV IZ BEOGRADA. :salute::salute::salute::salute::salute:
Best regards from Belgrade.

p.s. Do you know if there are more people from the region here????

What country is the Sub and Crew based from ?

We had a short simular series about 3 pilots qualifing to be an F-15 Pilot.

Few slots open and tough to qualify. Only 1 out of 3 got the slot.

Real Airforce pilots so I ask if this is simular ?

I wish I could see it here. It sounds great.

Thx Zuk for heads up. :up: Any links ?

(from the 30 second teaser)

I gather they are Brits, I don't think the UK trains foreigners any more since they got rid of their Oberon and Upholder class boats.

Maybe a Brit can tell us otherwise...

They all have experience with submarines before this school. It is very similar with that show with pilots. I don't understand how it is possible that the series wasn't first shown on your tv??? Usually in my country tv stuff comes with a delay. Sorry, but i don't have any link. Sorry for my english.

Yes, they are brits and there is 5 or 6 of them and one is from usa. :salute:

@ Zuk Your English is fine and better than most here in USA. :haha:

I sure wish I could see that show but, that's the way it goes with TV. :damn:

'Perisher' (as the Submarine Command Course is better known) is a 24-week course all officers must take prior to serving as an Executive Officer on board a Royal Navy Submarine. It has been run twice a year since 1917, usually starting on 2 July and 14 November each year. It is widely regarded as one of the toughest command courses in the world, with an historical failure rate of 25%[13].

If at any point during the training a candidate is withdrawn from training he will be nominated for boat transfer and kept occupied until the transfer. His bag is packed for him and he is notified of the failure when the boat arrives. On departure he is presented with a bottle of whisky. A failure on Perisher means that the unsuccessful candidate is not permitted to return to sea as a member of the Submarine Service (although they are still allowed to wear the dolphin badge). He is, however, permitted to remain in the Royal Navy, moving into the surface fleet.

In more recent years, the United States Navy has sent some of its own submariner officers to undergo the 'Perisher', in order to foster and maintain closer links with the Royal Navy.

Since the Royal Navy no longer operates diesel-electric submarines, in 1995 the Royal Netherlands Navy has taken over the Perisher course for these boats from the British, and annually host a course that is attended by candidate submarine commanders from multiple navies around the world.
