5.0 out of 5 stars This is REAL, October 11, 1999

The vast majority of this video was shot underway, onboard the H.G. Rickover, SSN-709 just after I transferred off. It's the real crew members and shows everything we went through...beginning at submarine school to underway and operational. Great Movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Thing, August 20, 2000

I served aboard a 637 class fast attack submarine 23 years ago. This video while being shot on a larger 688 class submarine brought back fond memories of my days of submarine duty. The tight confines, the hard work, tension, drills, and even angles and dangles. By far the best documentary of life on a fast attack, aka. Hunter/Killer submarine I have seen. If you have never been on board a sub and don't understand life as a submariner, this will explain it. well done

This review is from: Submarine: Steel Boats-Iron Men (VHS Tape)

Although the movie does show real life on a submarine, it is far too brief (59 min.) to be worth while. Half of the film is spent on submarine history which detracts from the excitement, and the fact that it is now 12 years old doesn't help any. Look for a longer, more in-depth video that can effectively portray submarines.
