Description

On the morning of May 23, 1939, a state-of-the-art U.S. Navy’s submarine, the USS Squalus, was doing a routine test dive when something went terribly wrong. The sub began flooding, and plunged 240 feet down to the bottom of the ocean, trapping the dozens of sailors aboard. The ship’s captain knew he had to act fast if he had any hope of saving his crew from a horrible death.

Really enjoyed these episodes. Presenter is top notch, audio quality is fabulous and actually "placed" me at the scene, which thankfully I wasn't. Really makes you aware of the dangers submariners of that time faced, and also the divers involved in the rescue
