Enjoy these old navy training films like to see more
Awesome old film on our Navy subs . Amazing job thank you so much.
That had a few great shots of some older S-Boats. The narrative is fluff, but the video is well worth the effort to save.
I guess it is kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream new tv shows online?

Putting the 'periscope' in Periscope Films.
The first subs had screen doors . Then 6mo latter they figured out why they were sinking.
you're thinking of the Polish Navy.

Submarines should be banned. They don't have enough room to pick up their victim ship's survivors
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
