Summary: An introduction to submarines and how they operate.
Description: Diagrams show the layout of a typical submarine. Shots of a submarine depot ship and of a submarine at sea (HMS Tribune, N76). The routine on board a typical submarine is shown, including the detection of an enemy ship using ASDIC. Torpedoes are prepared and fired, and the crew brace themselves for retaliatory measures; after weathering these, the submarine continues on its mission.
