Submarine Sunday Videos

Here are a couple videos for your viewing enjoyment.

The first is a tribute to the members of the United States Submarine Force - The Silent Service.


This presentation was created for the gallery opening for Lizbeth Maxson-McGee at the Gallery at Firehouse Square in New London, CT for her paintings of submarines in watercolor. Her paintings can be seen at http://oursilentservice.com.

The second video is a presentation on US submarine history during the Cold War by Captain James Patton. This video was originally taped in August 2011 and is about 1 hour 44 minutes long.

Captain Patton was a technical adviser for movie "The Hunt for Red October" and he provides an overview of US submarine history, information on submarine missions, and his views on cold war history. It also includes a 15 minute video narrated by Walter Cronkite for the Subs and Boomers display at the Smithsonian Institute. There is a lot of interesting information in the presentation. So, make head call, grab some popcorn and drinks, get comfortable, and enjoy.
