Nuclear Sharks: Cold War Submarine Adventures

History Documentary hosted by Kenneth Welsh, published by Discovery Channel in 1998 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

For forty years, the Cold War was also waged beneath the sea between the United States and the USSR. Submarines faced submarines in close-quarter encounters which could have triggered major conflicts on many occasions.
'Nuclear Sharks' explores the silent, stealthy symbol of the Cold War. A war waged outside public view. A war about strategy and world domination. A war of technological advancement, with lethal consequences. By the early 1950's, the United States and the Soviet Union are entrenched in a harrowing conflict many fear will bring an end to humanity. This gripping series reveals the stories of submarines sunk to the bottom, their nuclear power plants in meltdown. Such incidents remained closely guarded military secrets both on the American and the Soviet sides.
'Nuclear Sharks' is a chronicle of chilling adventures which, as Cold War secrets are revealed, can only now be told. 'Nuclear Sharks' takes us into the post-Communist Kremlin, where men who once helped define the nuclear submarine conflict can now freely speak about the Soviet strategy. In Washington, the Navy confesses the crucial importance of the nuclear submarine in the effort to puncture the Iron Curtain. NUCLEAR SHARKS tells the story of the men who gave their lives to a hidden war in the silent deep.

3)  Submarine Inferno
For years the Soviet Navy sent nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarines to patrol off the American coast. Their missiles took aim at Washington, New York, and other major American cities.
On October 3, 1986, the Soviet Yankee-class ballistic missile submarine K-219, equipped with 16 R-27 nuclear missiles was on patrol in the North Atlantic, about 700 miles off the coast of Bermuda. In maneuvering to evade the US Navy submarine shadowing it, the K-219 suffered irreparable damage to an already leaky missile silo. Seawater poured into the rupture, mixing with liquid fuel to create clouds of lethal gas. The craft went into a near-fatal dive, but Captain Igor Britanov managed to get it to the surface. Dead in the water, with both her reactors out of commission, the K-219 was on fire belowdecks. It was a nuclear submariner's worst nightmare.
The disaster culminates when the nuclear reactor overheats, threatening to cause a Chernobyl-like disaster in the Atlantic. Two crewmen volunteered to take on the dangerous task of entering the overheated and radioactive reactor compartment to prevent a nuclear explosion by manually shutting down the two power plants. This is the gripping story of the young Soviet sailors who fought to save their submarine, risking fire, smoke, poison gas, and intense radioactivity.
