Finally, it's time to talk about submarines. The spring series of The 9pm Edict continues with a conversation about what submarines in the 21st century can and can't do with defence analyst and illustrator H I Sutton of Covert Shores.
Before we can answer questions about whether Australia "really needs" nuclear submarines, we need to step back a bit. So in this episode we compare nuclear subs with conventional boats, and we talk about underwater drones, Russia's intercontinental nuclear torpedo, Operation Ivy Bells, American submarine NR-1, air-independent power, and much more.
Needless to say, we mention some films: Das Boot, The Hunt for Red October, Fail-Safe, and The World is Not Enough.
