In 1944 the Royal Navy succeeded in modifying one of its conventional submarines, Seraph, to match the performance of the radically new Type XXI fast boats that intelligence showed Germany was developing.1 If the enemy had succeeded in getting the Typ XXI to sea in large numbers, they would have revolutionised submarine warfare, and severely tested Allied anti-submarine defences.
David Suchet narrates the BBC series featuring the Royal Navy's Hunter-Killer submarine, HMS Splendid, on a top secret three-month mission.
After travelling from its Farlane base to San Diego, the sub is charged with testing the first Tomahawk cruise missile, and the crew is followed every step of the way.
Also included is a feature on the sub's new Lieutenant Commander as he undergoes the 'Perisher' selection course.
