I don't know if this has been mentioned on here before, I didn't see it on a scan of search results, apologies if it has.

Sky TV are showing a series of 6 documentaries on the RAN submarine HMAS Rankin, it's on Sky 3 (Freeview Channel 11) in the mornings at around 0700 and 1000.

I taped one this morning, doesn't seem too bad, a bit like the HMS Splendid one that was shown on the BBC a few years ago - it shows them doing work-up, fires-floods-famines etc. It also had mock attacks on HMAS Adelaide and HMAS Arunta, nice shots of the fire control systems and audio of the sonar.
