For educational purposes<br /><br />In the late 1800's the father of submarines, Mr John Holland hit upon the idea of powering a submarine with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. <br /><br />For over a hundred years, since the first semi-successful attempts during the American Civil War, submarine warfare had been fraught with difficulties and failure. <br /><br />In 1901 the Holland I was launched as the first Royal Navy Submarine and submarines have been an integral part of the Navy ever since. <br /><br />The Second World War showed the first widespread use of the these under water vessels and their major advantages. <br /><br />Today nuclear submarines roam the waters all over the world for exploration and to keep the peace. <br /><br />Featuring rare archive footage, stunning 3-D computer graphics and rare film of the last surviving submarines, this is a privileged glimpse into the world of submarine warfare.
