Anyone with any interest in cold war submarine operations really, really should watch this (two-part) BBC series. Interviews with British, US and ex-Soviet submariners, lots of information that was new to me, well told and some good footage and reconstructions. Oh, and great music!

This was part of a larger series of cold war programmes - all highly recommended.

Thanks for the tip, found only part one on youtube yet though...

Part two is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK7nPMcD-DA

It includes (amongst other things) the explosion on the K-219 (I recommend the book on that incident - Hostile Waters) and the famous Victor III sortie of 1987.

Really fascinating stuff.

Many thanks for the pointer.

It is indeed a very well done series.

You can always count on the BBC for good documentaries!

A bit simplistic in context (e.g. I didn't see any reference to the Walker & Toshiba/Kongsberg affairs and their effects, although I skimmed through most of the narrative so I may have missed them) but nice media content and some good details.

And this photo...

...if true, should be the most awesome photograph taken in 1977.

The only thing now the BBC does well unfortunately

I learned from it that Walker saved the world by keeping the 2 parties in balance ;)

And that the Typhoon-crew lived in better conditions in their sub than on land...

Good find. Thanks for posting.
