The twentieth century bore witness to some of the most devastating naval battles in history. From the Arctic Sea to the South Pacific, colossal battleships met in desperate conflict alongside aircraft carriers, submarines and fleets of destroyers. But many of these ocean titans did not survive. They were destroyed by gunfire, torpedoes, and bombs, often with catastrophic loss of life. Through rarely seen archive, modern graphics, and exclusive interviews and analysis, this series explores eight of these amazing ships and the fates of those who served on them. From the brave British cruiser lost carrying Stalin's gold, to an American submarine that vanished beneath the waves, these sunken warships all have secrets to be revealed and incredible stories to tell.
