BBC documentary, ”Submarine”, from the mid 1980s. Follows HMS Warspite, a Valiant Class nuclear-powered hunter-killer submarine, as she participates in a large scale NATO exercise in the North Atlantic. The exercise, Ocean Safari, is designed to simulate WW3 conditions, with Warspite playing the part of a Soviet submarine, intent on crippling a task group led by the French aircraft carrier ‘Foch’. HMS Warpite was recently returned from a patrol of the Falkland Islands, where her sister-ship HMS Valiant participated during the war. HMS Conqueror, a Churchill Class submarine, sunk the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano durign the war – the only time a nuclear powered submarine has ever fired its torpedoes in anger. The Churchill Class was essentially an improved version of this, the Valiant class, so this video gives some insight into what it would have been like onboard HMS Conqueror as she took her place in military history.
