Admiral Dykers got these films made. A great service to his nation. After over half a century we can know these heroes and what they did. Dykers was one of the early combat US submarine Captains in WW2.
I used to race home from school to watch this show. I ended up joining the Royal Australian Navy for 20 years. Mainly on small ships and patrol boats. In all that time I could not workout why you would want to go on a boat that deliberately sinks. Strange.
My grandfather was a United States Navy veteran retired with service in World War II and Korea. I would watch the Silent Service with him when I was very young and I was inspired, too. I joined the Navy and served in the Pacific Fleet. I was able to visit many of the locations of battles and actions from World War II. I was on the Commodore’s Staff of COMSUBPAC 15 in 1974 and 1975 and was ordered to help evacuate Vietnam in Operation New Life.
I was barely ten years old, Dad and I used to watch this show. Sarge -- as I came to call him later -- had served in Guadalcanal and Bougaineville. I remember him waking up in the middle of the night howling. Today they'd say he had PTSD. He's been gone 38 years now.
@@PeriscopeFilm He was an obstinant, demanding old man when he was young. Entirely self-educated Mark Twain style journalist. Started in the back shop, ended up being editor of many weekly newspapers. Quit a job once because the paper's owner wanted him to publish lies about a local official. He'd be screaming today at what passes for journalism. His letterpress print shop is in my garage. I talk with him often out there.
Enjoyed this. Certainly dated but a gripping story. My Uncle served in Submarines in the 50s and 60s. I was on the base in New London as a visitor several times as a kid (although no one was allowed near the nuclear boats). Fascinating world. "From where do we find such men?" Indeed. Pretty high bar to get into the program. He served in nukes during Cold War. But could only imagine how it would feel to be fighting for survival in a tube underwater.
Thanks for bringing this show to UA-cam. As noted in the notes, a great deal more material is available in "Silent Running: My Years on a World War II Attack Submarine" by James Calvert, who was also a member of the original crew of the ship. Based on the dates and the events shown, this wasn't the Jack's sixth patrol, but her first.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any help you can give me
@Westley Archer I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Fun fact: The guy in the control room he called 'Jim' is a young Admiral James Calvert. He was later commander of the third nuclear submarine off the line, commander of subs pacific and commandant of the Naval academy.
How incredibly terrifying, it’s the things nightmares are made of, tiny space, dark, water, attack, danger danger everywhere! What blew my mind more, end of this Video, the Man who did this in r/l ! :D That he watched this film with the Skipper with him this day. Such incredible bravery! if I can absorbed a tiny fraction of his courage and strength what more can make of life for me, do for others and all today ! !

Originally syndicated by NBC (through their California National subsidiary) in 1957 and '58. WRCA-TV in New York, NBC's flagship station [later WNBC-TV], originally telecast this on April 5, 1957 (locally, it replaced "SCIENCE FICTION THEATRE" on Fridays at 7pm).
Someone should have told Hollywood to turn off the lights on the sub since they were short of battery power. It wasn't even realistic having things that lit up.
Bloody stupid of the Captain to leave the periscope up for 'sightseeing'. Should have been reprimanded for reckless endangerment. I wouldn't have liked to serve with him.

World War 2 came home to these veterans in the mid 1950s. .amazing they functioned as well as they did.
They did well. Overwhelmingly. Before the idiot psychiatrists.
Amazing ❤😊

Thanks for ur service
Operation Frequent Wind. Door gunner. At Ton Sun Nut air field. The dying, was not yet over.
Well done! And this is why Tommy Dyers is an admiral.

God bless your dad.

Nice going on your safe 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great relic of its time. Thanks for bringing us this!
What a great finish.
They showed so much courage
I get claustrophobia just watching that sailor climb inside that tube.
Love these
Seems to be an incredibly clean and tidy crew. But a good dit. And one must acknowledge true heroism
That ending...what a reveal!
I think I've seen this before... yet I keep watching them!

@Westley Archer it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Avi Arturo no problem xD
I was with Submarine Squadron Sixteen, 1974 to 1978. During WW2 16 sank more Japanese ships than any 2 other squadrons combined.
Thanks for your service to our great nation.

He is in the film earlier but he is addressed as Jim first time at 7:35.
2021, and Seaman Jones, replied, but I need to charge my phone...
Good job that they've got no cook who's windy from the stern! Quietness is vital!

wow...very powerful...
Someone should have told Hollywood to turn off the lights on the sub since they were short of battery power. It wasn't even realistic having things that lit up.
Wow…just wow…
22:45 the look on that dude's face! :D
I'd watch anything about submarines.
They could have tied a line around each of Arch's feet to pull him out if needed....
Watched this and "Combat Sergeant".
Far out!
7:05 - Fool of a Took!
"I just picked up a Cave Troll on sonar Captain"
nanda korewa?!
Funny. He calls down periscope and ten seconds later he calls for up periscope.
Bloody stupid of the Captain to leave the periscope up for 'sightseeing'. Should have been reprimanded for reckless endangerment. I wouldn't have liked to serve with him.
So realistic. Possibly more crew could be smoking cigars and kicking buckets. Duh
Smoking while submerged!?😂
