1st film; "Submarines at Sea". This
film was produced in 1941 and shows the early Salmon Class and the Sargo Class
Submarines like the SS-180, SS-182, SS-183, SS-186, and SS-187. Plus a V-boat
(probably the Argonaut) which was the largest Diesel submarines ever built by
the US Navy. SS-186 is on practice maneuvers again the Pacific and launches 2
torpedoes at one of our big battleships in the Pacific Fleet. Great footage of
submarines and life aboard. Runtime 10:29 Min's
2nd Film; "Sub Training New London".
Take Her Down, this film show a lot of really good footage of a Gato Class
submarine and her crew. From school to functioning in a sub at sea. Great film.
Runtime 11:01 Min's
3rd Film; "Sub Warfare in the
Pacific". This film has been around but our version is in pretty good
color. It is the story of the Silent Service and how it got that way. Mostly
about Gato and Baleo class submarines in the pacific War with Japan. Great
film. Runtime 37.11 Min's.
4th Film; "Full Fathom Five". I think
we all know about this film. It is part of the Victory at Sea series and It is
Public Domain so I thought was very important to put it with these other films.
