The prototype of the submarine was propelled by its single occupant. Today's nuclear subs carry crews numbering in the hundreds. A single one of these war machines can remain submerged and hidden at sea for up to a year, capable of unleashing multiple nuclear warheads with more explosive power than all the munitions expended in World War II. This episode from the History Channel series explores the fascinating history of undersea vessels and how they have become the most important weapon in the arsenal of modern navies.
