I think I'm going to consolidate my post into my first post to prevent clutter.

LOBLO,

Not wanting to be picky - the Film entitled "Trafalgar Class Documentary in Nato War Exercises (runtime 60minutes)" v. good by the way.

The submarine isn't a trafalgar Class, it is HMS Warspite (from the first all UK built Nuke class as HMS Dreadnought has a US reactor) which was a Valiant Class submarine - the Valiant/Churchill class was the precursor to the Swiftsure and Trafalgar classes

Thanks for the heads up

added a couple of vids. One is a French language documentary of the Le Triomphant and the other is a 10 minute vid of a Ohio class Trident Missile launch.

The french documentary one was very interesting. 2 things caught my attention
  • the crew was authorized to drink wine during meals
  • the chief medical officer is required before going out to sea to be operated of the apendicitis (of course a 1 time operation). The reason being that in the past, one medical officer had apendicitis during an operational cruise, and had to be evacuated because he could not operate on himself. This required for a second ssbn to be put to sea to continue the "dissuation" since the first sub was going to surface.

Do other navies have a similar requirement for the medical officer ?

Not that I've heard of, but you could probably ask the RL Submariner's in the RL Submariner's thread.

btw. I'm looking for any pictures/videos of the HMS Astute control room layout looks like if anyone has run across anything.

Added Futures Weapons Coverage of the USS Texas (Virginia Class Submarine) (runtime 15 minutes).

One commentary about the documentary above. What's with the Virginia's control room? There had to have been 30 people in there. Is that how most SSNs operate during battlestations: 20-30 people crammed into the control room with a little chaos thrown in as well?

Few minutes article about the Israeli Dolphine Sub.
Its in hebrew but it doesn't matter since its not informative in any way, no numbers or abilities are mentioned, its kind of "moral-boost" article.

I know this is a extremely old post but thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed watching the Enemy Waters: Cold War Documentary.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJhMK...eature=related
Done right, I think this would be the best sub movie evah!

Looking for the english version of this video: it looks similar to a previous National Geographics video however the personelle and scenes are distinct and appears to be a seperate video from other NG versions. Does anyone has an english version?

New Video added to the 1st post. This one an old Discovery Channel documentary "Extreme Machines" of the US SSBN, SSN force, as well as special operations and the HMS Churchil Falkland's war attack. Pretty good video. Runtime approximately 50minutes.

I've also included the full series of the an alteranative National Geographic of the Virginia Class Submarine. I think its Hebrew. Runtime 50minutes.

btw does anyone have any video of an actual running steam turbine? A civillian one would do. I'm just curious on how noisey, non-submarine steam turbines are and how they compare to gas turbines.

Sorry I don't understand. I ran this last year and all I'm doing is advertising this year's festival. No gag at all.

Nuclear sharks were removed due copyright just when I was in between parts 3 and 4.

I recommend saving them with keepvid.com for future viewing for that reason.
