Silent Service TV Series -Where can I get it?

Destraex · 07-23-10, 06:29 AM

I understand that their is an old TV series from the 60s called "silent service"
There were over 100 episodes? They were all based on real stories and even had survivors telling the tale at the end of episodes?

Its one I would not mind seeing, especially if the footage of the subs is not the "canned" footage that is repeated each episode in a lot of TV series.

The episodes each told a short version of a real story. Each episode was introduced by a real admiral, and after each episode one or more of the crew members involved was interviewed. In the episode featuring Archerfish and the sinking of Shinano, Joe Enright was played by DeForrest Kelly, later 'Bones' on Star Trek.

I was able to watch a few of them online, but I don't remember where now.
