5.0 out of 5 stars A must see for families in the submarine community, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Submarine [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a wonderfully written video targeted to children, but great for adults as well. It shows the basics of the submarine community, mostly from the Ohio class perspective, but includes information about the Los Angeles class and rescue subs. This video explains everything (using children as narrators) from how the boat submerges to how food is stored for such a long time. It shows "angles and dangles," how the sub "sees" in the water, the mess and sleeping quarters among numerous other things. The video also explores the training side of the submarine community, showing men in simulations for fire drills and major pipe leaks. There is also a short segment on weapons systems, but it cleverly skips over the purpose of such a payload. The Big Submarine gives a wonderful perspective of what Daddy does when he goes away for such a long time! I recommend this video to all submariner families, regardless of what class of submarine you are attached to. It makes a great stocking stuffer or gift for any occasion, whether you are currently active duty or retired.

This review is from: The BIG Submarine (DVD)

The Little Mammoth video series is very well done. This particular DVD, The BIG Submarine, is another educational and FUN video that is great for the whole family.

See what it is like aboard a real submarine! I like that the video details the kind of training and education that submariners undergo, showing that there are dangers, but that the crews are well-equipped and well-trained to handle various emergencies. Also, did you ever wonder about how they get oxygen for the crew? Find out on this exciting DVD!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great learning experience, August 8, 2005

This review is from: The BIG Submarine (DVD)

A great video for kids, narrated by kids. Contains technical information but does not go over a child's head. Good for 4 years old up to at least 10 years old. Even Dad enjoyed it and learned a few new things. A great family and educational video to watch over and over again.
