A Unique View of their Secret World ~ As told by the Submariners

A True Cinematic Treat of Sight and Sound

"I give it five stars -- MUST SEE !
- USSVI NSVC (National Senior Vice Commander) Jon Jaques

"This is the BEST submarine documentary I have ever seen."
- Fred Reker ( SubVet USS Razorback)

"Our verdict: Fantastic!"
- Ronald Sorjonen / Submarine Veteran SS 420 USS Tirante / Redfish Base

A true cinematic treat for the eyes and ears. Stunning imagry and music. Fantastic historic footage. All enhancing the sometimes dramatic, sometimes hilarious, always interesting and revealing true life of the submariner.

"The movie's impressive. It has something for everyone. Submariners, sometimes with emotions, tell their stories of what it was like to serve our country and of duty first."

- Jim Sandman / Nuclear Submarine Service (USN Ret)

Fifteen Submarine Sailors share their experiences and what real life is like serving in the American Submarine Service in their own words. Sometimes dramatic, sometimes hilarious and always entertaining. From historical moments to Cold War missions.

From the diesel-electric boats to nuclear submarines. With gripping accounts of the historic mission of the USS Nautilus to cross the North Pole from the men who were there including the navigator and other pivotal crew members. Many details never told until now. With fantastic historic footage.

While this Submarine Documentary was made primarily for the general public who are fascinated by submarine life as a look into the secret world of the Submarine Sailor, the Submarine Veterans are embracing the movie across the nation. The producer is greatful to the Submarine Community for their participation and are pleased to see the movie accepted by the submariners and Submarine Service Veterans.

From Feature Film Director and Nashville Producer Tony Rollo, this original feature documentary tells the story and thrills the eye with dazzling original footage, rare historical images and amazing true stories of the life on submarines and the heart and mind of the submarine sailor. Historical details revealed for the first time ever by the submariners who were there.

Fantastic music and sound. A treat for the eye. Years in the making. Uplifting and heroic.

"This is one of those must see to appreciate films
that we hear about all the time from Hollywood.

It brought back memories of being back on the boats.

Truly, a work of art."

Gordon Palmer / National Editor
American Submariner Magazine / USSVI

We received this very nice (and unsolicited) letter from a Submarine Veteran and his wife who served on the Diesel-Electric Submarine USS Tirante (a WWII fighting American Submarine that served in the fleet for many decades after the war it was built for) ~

"Dear Mr. Rollo,

Well, we saw the movies...here is our "verdict": fantastic....it is a very well assembled story regarding the submarine service, and the tales by the individual submariners are priceless.

You get our vote for a job well done. We shall spread the word to our Redfish Base members to order the set as well. They won't be disappointed."

- Gisela and Ron Sorjonen (FT2 SS 420 - USS Tirante)

The Submarine Documentary Feature Movie was mentioned in American Submariner Magazine in the November 2011 issue upon the street date release of the two DVD disc special edition of this submarine documentary:

Volunteer Base first to see sub film

- by Nancy Yockey Bonar / USSVI life/associate; LIB

We've been awaiting a non-fiction, un-glamorized movie about what it's really like for the iron men who live and work aboard sharks of steel.

Just released is the DVD documentary, "Submariners: The Men of the Silent Service," featuring on-camera interviews with 15 submariners who served on board diesel-electric and nuclear boats.

Before the movie's final production, Tony Rollo, producer/director, invited USSVI's Volunteer Base (Tennessee) to a private screening.

Among base members' comments -

"Rollo tells the submarine story better than I've ever seen. It's more than about subs as weaponry. It's about the lives of submariners. This documentary should be shown in every school in the country." - Capt. Fred Reker, (USNR Ret), USS Razorback (SS 394).

"The movie's impressive. It has something for everyone..." - Jim Sandman (USN Ret), FTS(SS)/underway Lay Leader, four subs, including qual boat, USS Bergall (SSN 667).

..Rollo says the documentary's main focus is on what the men of The Silent Service have to say, that the unscripted submariners give the film its story lines.

"Sure there's history, technology and hardware, but it's the submariners who provide the action, surprises, excitement, salty language, and hilarious personalities and situations.

"Submariners: The Men of the Silent Service" is on two DVD disks. Among stories is one told by a USS Scorpion crew member who's transferred to USS Nautilus before Scopion and all hands were lost in 1968.

The second disk features lots of humor, the ways submariners relieve stress. To see the movie trailers, and for ordering info, www.submarinemovie.com

Tony Rollo, Nashville, is a film producer, actor, director and writer, and a member of the American Historical Association and the Tennessee Historical Society.

"As a collector of submarine artifacts, photos, and films, I thought I had seen most of the available vintage submarine film footage.

The new material found in this documentary is nothing short of unbelievable.

Even the most seasoned submarine veteran will enjoy some of the previously unseen footage in this film."

- USSVI NSVC (National Senior Vice Commander) Jon Jaques

This Submarine Movie in it's two DVD disc special collector set, delivers nearly four hours of content that is packed with amazing information, submarine adventure and images that will be enjoyed again and again.

A must for anyone who enjoys real adventure and for those who collect submarine memorabilia.

We are pleased to hear and receive so many entusiastic responses to this work of labor. We are overjoyed that while this submarine movie feature documentary was primarily made for those of the general public who are interested and fascinated by the world of submarines of all ages, we very much enjoy that the submariners themselves are thoroughly enjoying the movie.

The following email was forwarded to us.

It was sent to some of the submariners who appear in the Submarine Movie. -

To: Jim A. Sandman; Jaques, Jon D.; Ford, William
Subject: "Submariners" DVD

I recently bought the "Submariners" DVD set and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your stories.

Jeff W. / Murfreesboro, TN

Where made for television submarine documentaries usually focus on the submarine hardware with "talking head" experts on the machines, this feature documentary mainly focuses on the Submariners' life aboard in their words. Sure, there is plenty of submarine action, and you will see and hear the real submarine life first hand from those who were there.

Submarine Movie Feature Documentary

SUBMARINERS
The Men of the Silent Service

Now on a special DVD Collector Set.

This Feature Submarine Documentary is available in a 2 DVD disc collector's set.

Disc one is the main feature Submarine Movie Documentary and is approx 110 minutes in running time.

Disc 2 contains special added features and original featurettes. There is also a collection of stories and "out takes" that could not fit anywhere else but are just too funny and interesting to not include in this great collection. Disc two runs approx 2 hours in total.

The original featurettes on disc two of the Submarine DVD contain more content from the fifteen submariners in the feature documentary.

The collection of lost scenes are simply fun and sometimes hillarious where the submarine sailors tell their story of how they ended up in the submarine service in the United States Navy. Any military and Navy veteran can identify with these situations.

Another main featurette is "A Crash-Dive Course in Submarine History". Live actors recreate historical figures such as John Holland, Admiral Dewey and more in such an uncanny manor that you will believe it's actual historic footage taken a century ago.
