This is a great DVD to get you started in submarines. The DVD initially gives you a brief (15 min) history of submarine development, highlighting all the important mile stones in the early development of the submarine.
The DVD then expands into providing a more detailed explanation of both the technological and historical development of the submarine, thus providing the viewer with a well balanced introductoin to submarines.
