This set includes two DVDs loaded with rare footage of the U.S. Navy's ballistic missile submarines, the "Boomers!" On USS George Washington (SSBN-598), you'll learn about the design of boomers and their incorporation of the Polaris missile system, watch them track an enemy sub, and view the launch of the first Polaris missiles. Then, you'll see Early SSBN Stories, a fantastic program that tells what it takes to cut it in the Navy, from school to deployment; shows life aboard SSBN subs; and describes the contributions made by John Holland, the father of American submarines.
