episode 2: 18- Cold War Submarine Operations: Deterance, Espionage, Nuclear Power and Commando Landings
This episode tells the story of the the submarine force during the Cold War, where it was the coldest of cold forces, often operating in the Arctic waters off the Soviet coastline and far from the traditional Cold War hotspots. This is the story of a conventional force turning into a nuclear one, led by Admiral Rickover, with all of the genius and eccentricities he brought with him. Under his watch, the submarine force was transformed into the nation's primary nuclear deterrence shield and a covert espionage platform that spied on and played deadly games of cat-and-mouse with their Soviet counterparts.
