Climb aboard the U.S. Navy's newest shark in the water: the Virginia class submarine. Still in her shakedown period and not yet commissioned, Virginia has been designed for maximum flexibility – to engage a wide array of potential threats, provide offshore nuclear deterrence and offer decisive deep-water hunt and kill capabilities. But, while she may be the most advanced attack sub in history, there's still plenty of testing to be done. Travel to the shipyard and watch as these amazing machines are built and put through a battery of tests and sea trials. Then meet the Chief of the Boat, who leads a detailed tour of the ship's high-tech systems, demonstrating just how the Virginia uses technology to one-up her enemies. Head to Basic Sub School, where raw recruits are subjected to harrowing drills as they learn to fight fires and repair leaks courtesy of the school's high-tech simulators. Finally, learn how Virginia will cope with non-nuclear subs outfitted with radical new gear: Air Independent Propulsion. Presented in 16:9 widescreen format.

My nephew is on this sub and with this video I was able to get a peek at what his life on board is like. Was great being able to see him at work too. Thanks

My husband is a plank owner on the USS Texas, one of the Virginia class submarines, currently serving on an Ohio class. We saw this on TV some time ago and I just ordered it for my son. Really good submarine information is hard to come by - this program/video is outstanding, I highly reccomend it.
