Still my go back to song.... soo good😊

Very simular to the US Submarine Force. BZ Brothers! US Navy Submariner 1987-93.

I’m Australian and went to college in Barrow for a year. Thanks for that.

TH-cam - Bath at war / Admiralty at Bath

Excellent! 👍🙂

So proud of you guys who do this. Such great friendships and the humour is really great

can you have life "on " a sub or to be correct "in" it - a tad wet to be on it!

As an ex - submariner, I have a soft spot for Barrow having been there several times. What a history!!!!

F-ck that.

Loved this video very well done.

Grandfather, Father and numerous uncles and their wives worked at Vickers in Barrow. Shipyard fodder as described in Uncle Maurice’s book. Brilliant documentary but just one small correction. The original A class submarines had petrol rather than diesel engines and were rather hazardous to operate. The A7 lies at the bottom of Plymouth Sound , intact and home to some rather large conger eels.

I was army back in late 80's and was in Haslar recovering from bout of malaria, while revovering they took over to the sub escape training tower at gosport for a nose, at end of that day I knew I was better being a soldier than a submariner, like no way I had the X to be in subs - takes a certain kind of dude to do ok in subs

Having just watched the perisher documentary (how to command a nuclear submarine) on Amazon prime it's good to see Jim again

I wish I could understand what they are saying.

My last boat was the Swiftsure which I sadly left as a L/s (S)(SM) in 1990, and yes I really miss it !! Two minutes per man per day !! I have one of those bad ones to find my wife was seriously ill when I got back from patrol, which promted me to a compassionate discharge after joining in 1979. But even today my family and friends don't know what I did !

Submarines are not undetectable, a tad dramatic narrator.

5:53 Kalev sank somewhere in the Baltic but her sister, Lembit, survives here in Tallinn in the Seaplane Museum.

i met Dave at a pub in Roa island, an absolute gentleman who took his time to speak to us all and answered some questions. xxx

That was very impressive. I'm totally awed by the enterprise and ingenuity of those who make these vessels. Long may they continue to do so, because the baddies are still out there and we need our defence.

Jim Perks - wasn't hecon a series about the Perisher course selecting submarine commanders?

Constant learning. Constant testing. Constant qualifying. Constant drilling. Constant vigilance. Proud to have served. Glad it's over. My Dolphins go with me when I meet Saint Peter.

Is this a poem? Just to the rhythm of the words.

The word is pronounced nuclear not nucular

Dave Woods the best Scratcher’s Dickie I had the privilege to serve with.

This video needs to be taken down immediately. And made 10 to 20 times longer. Thank you so much! What a privilege.

What a FABULOUS film. I've recently moved to Plymouth and have for some reason been doing a lot of research into the journey of the dismantling of the decommissioned subs, pretty much all of them featured in your documentary. I started to feel quite emotional as the documentary progressed and seeing their beginnings and knowing that 15 of them sit in retirement in one of the docks at Devonport just down from where I live.....waiting...... and to see HMS Swiftsure who is now in her final stage of dismantling (disposal sounds too harsh).

A fantastic video. Pictures, narrative, history and future. Love this. Rule Britannia! ❤️❤️❤️

Well built boats , I served on Valiant, Courageous, Renown and Sceptre, great documentary

That's completely brilliant, thank you. I'm going to watch it again now. Well done.

A terrific video. Well worth watching!

Served on valiant my first boat second commission then Warspite Churchill and build crew on Trafalgar she was a fine boat credit to all in the barrow yard

I've had the pleasure of meeting Jim Perks, and what a thoroughly lovely gentleman he is with an extraordinary story to tell!

That was really good. Thank you!

Loved this. Especially the rhyming commentary

Excellent documentary guys. Loved it and, I’ve learned a lot about being a Submariner. I Salute you all, from a former 22 year Special Forces guy. Thank you. 🇬🇧 And, God Bless you all.

As usual interview the officers and warrant officer this is typical it’s never the lads as for family grams never had them on fleet boats or Trafalgar when I served in 76 to 90. Talk to the Jr and senior rates about want it was really like then you’ll get the true story events . Still enjoyed my time on boats seems to have changed some what

Great documentry and a great unique styl of narration. Barrow built my first and last submarines, Oberon & Courageous, out of the four I served on (in) during the 70s & early 80's. Barrow boats where always considered the best boats, and so proved to be too. Like eveyrthing else though, the longer peace reigns the less politicians think we need submarines and the skilled people that build them...

Great video, great accents but the poetic prose of the script is more often than not kaka... I don't profess to be Betjeman, Byron, Clarke, Colridge, Larkin, Wordsworth or Zephaniah... But.... Just stick to a standard vo script if this is the best you can do.... DOH!! 😮

A beautifully crafted piece of work all round, in my humble opinion. The obviously impeccably researched historical information, the editing of the available visual material, along with a stunningly lyrical poetic script, and appropriate narration; this is certainly the genre of documentaries coming into a new style and age.

They did go back to building ships in the early 2000

Epic.

Absolutely fascinating film, PRIDE IN BRITISH SUBMARINE 👍 BUILDING. Great film and lovely to watch ❤

I will be honest and say I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked on this video but that attitude soon changed when I seen Commodore Perks……….excellent video….. well put together and of course the narrative given by guys who have been there, done that even though they can’t tell you where they have been or what they have done 😂😂 This should be a recruitment video for the Submarine Service. 👍👍

Jim was my skipper on Sceptre loved it and miss it even since being out since 2012. Love a visit to the bergh and a catch up.

Brilliant that was..👍

A very good documentary. What is not mentioned is that not all submariners are volunteers. Very many like me were pressed men who hated the life!

You could mention who builds the nuclear engines and other major parts. They are all made in Britain.

I'm proud to say I've played a small part in this story

Well done John.
