Warships - Death at Sea

The Persuit (1x3)

Air date: Sep 02, 2021

Nuclear age brings nuclear-powered naval forces: carriers, submarines, frigates. In 1955, the first nuclear-powered submarine allowed crew to remain underwater forever. They can now launch ballistic missiles underwater, which are equipped with nuclear warheads. They can strike anywhere in the world and be undetected. So, navies improve their listening systems, including underwater sonar cables, towed arrays on helicopters. Destruction was mutually assured, and that was the only true deterrence.
