Secret Fleets

Hi all,

I am looking for the documentary "Secret Fleets". I know that in the Netherlands it was broadcasted on the Discovery Channel some years ago.

Does anyone know where it would be available online ?

In World War II Fremantle was secretly transformed from an isolated outpost to the most successful submarine base of its kind, second only in size to Pearl Harbour. This documentary looks at the 'cultural invasion' of firstly American submarines and later British and Dutch servicemen, and highlights the dramatic social and cultural change that locals faced - forever altering their outlook of the world. Features remarkable colour archive footage taken by the US submarines.

Too bad, I was already afraid it would not be for sale anywhere. Hopefully the channel will re-run it soon.
