Sceptre was a sneaky boat, She sailed out from Plymouth Ho. To the cold northern oceans, Further north than Scapa Flow. Pride of all the Submarine fleet, A hero of the cold war. Prowling the deep cold waters, Around the great bear's door. Long months were spent at sea, Maintaining the status quo. Ducking,diving,seeking and searching, Monitoring the old Red foe. The crew were all 'Hearts of Oak' And drank of Nelson's Blood, Washed down with copious CSB, Because it did them good. This tale of Sceptre is all true, You asked me how I know. I was there part of her crew, For I was Duddly's SPO. |

There has always been a symbiotic relationship between the submarine commanding officer, the submarine's sensors and whatever command aids were available. The harder and more often the three worked together the better was the attack solution provided.
'Underwater, underhanded and damned un-English' they might have been but submarine development and deployment has long been an integral part of naval warfare.
For centuries man has been fascinated with the possibility of an underwater vessel, the ultimate method of improving the odds against a superior surface fleet. Being submerged beneath the sea was the obvious means by which a warship could be approached and attacked without detection - but the attempts to create the perfect sub was a long and often tragic affair.
This DVD tracks the evolution of underwater crafts from the early Turtle to a privileged look inside the salvaged U-Boat 534 and beyond. Aboard the famous U-Boat 534 we examine the living conditions and the true bravery shown by all her crew.
