Sharks of Steel

DirecTV and Dish Network, Satellite TV

As early as the Civil War, a new breed of predator appeared in the seas and in one frightening instant changed the balance of world power. The submarine, by pure function of design and simplicity of purpose, evolved into the most terrifying weapon of mass destruction ever seen. From deep beneath the ocean, SUBMARINES: SHARKS OF STEEL is an almost too-close-for-comfort look at the men and machines engaged in our country's "silent service." The four programs in this collector's set are:
  • Submariners--Go into the bizarre world of these undersea sailors, who not only operate a weapon but live inside it.
  • In the Belly of the Beast--Operating on the vanguard of technology, there is no margin for error. Ocean floors are littered with the wreckage of those who failed.
  • The Hidden Threat--Here are the massive SSBN "Boomers" and their SSN class "Hunter-Killer" shadows--missile and fast attack platforms capable of unleashing unimaginable destruction.
  • The Hunters and the Hunted--From the very first sub to the German Wolfpacks of World War II, trace the history of undersea warfare.
