A view of life aboard the US Navy's biggest boomers.

One of the better documentaries about life aboard a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine. It offers a unique view of life aboard one of the highest-pressure workplaces in the US military, one that's operational 24/7/365. The interviews contained within it are both topical and interesting, complete with the training that those in the Silent Service must go through to become certified to serve aboard submarines. The bits with Adm. Hyman Rickover, the "father of the nuclear navy" were interesting as well, and very appropriate since the ship being shown in this documentary is USS Hyman G. Rickover. All in all, this was one of the best I've seen to date.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
