Sub Life on Board with the Hidden Heroes of Britain's Deadliest Force

A Trafalgar class nuclear powered hunter-killer submarine can move swiftly, undetected beneath the waves for months at a time. Ready to strike at any moment, they are part of the fleet that forms the last line of defence against devastating military aggression ? it is a measure of the importance of the Submarine Service that if there is no life left in government they can be relied upon to act in the nation's interest. Danny Danziger is the first person to have been allowed on a submarine for more than a day. He has spent a number of weeks on exercise onboard HMS Torbay, during which time he has conducted the probing interviews for which he is well known. He brings the submariners vividly to life: who they are, why they have chosen such a career and what they do, and also illustrates how these most awesome and unique vessels live and operate in the most difficult and dangerous of environments, and why submariners are regarded as the elite within the Royal Navy.
