Life on a Submarine describes what life is really like on a nuclear submarine through the experiences of 4 ex-Royal Navy submariners, including former commodore of the Submarine Service, Jim Perks CBE. The film was produced by John Rennie Creative Media for The Dock Museum's Shipyard Town Gallery and was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and BAE Systems.

Keith Hall The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines. |
| Class: | 1959 - 1998: Oberon Class |
| Built By: | Vickers (Barrow) |
| Build Group: | O2a |
| Fate: | |
| Olympus was sold to the Canadians in 1989 and was stationed as a nonoperational training boat in Halifax. The boat was never commissioned and was disposed of along with the other Canadian Oberon-class submarines in late 1990s. | |
Since the beginning of the Royal Navy Submarine Service in 1901, 173 submarines have been lost and in many circumstances with their entire crew. War inevitably takes a heavy toll:
in World War Two alone, 341 officer and 2,801 ratings failed to return to harbour. Accounts of these losses and many others of submarine escape are described within this history and whenever possible in the words of survivors or witness.
