As published in American Submariner Magazine:
“I give it five stars — must see!”
Every once in a while, we watch a film or movie and say, “wow!” This was my response to the new two hour submarine documentary called “Submariners: The Men of the Silent Service” by filmmaker Tony Rollo. This is an important film at a time where the need for future submarines is now being debated in the halls of Congress.
“This is not a rehash of any previously released material
– it is new, fresh and fun. I loved it!”
Based in Nashville, Tony started reaching out to submarine veterans in 2010 after learning a cousin had made the polar run on the Nautilus in 1958. Following a visit to a base meeting of the volunteer base in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Tony was hooked on the idea of sharing in submarine history and veteran’s stories to the viewing public — a movie made for both the public and those already enthused about submarines.
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.
The interviews and comments from shipmates who were there are both informative and humorous. There were several points where I laughed out loud and a couple of places where I said, “Bulls*#t!” This film has something for everybody, especially if you love good sea stories and a great cast of characters.
Tony does an awesome job telling the history of the submarine force from inception to today’s modern boats. When the film is done, you will smell the diesel fumes in your living room!
This is not a rehash of any previously released material — it is new, fresh and fun. I loved it!
I give it five stars — must see!

After watching “Submariners: The Men of the Silent Service”, one would get a pretty good idea what part submarines and submariners played in our history.
Talking to Tony Rollo about the reason for producing the film, it was inspired by a childhood experience. He had a cousin who served on the USS Nautilus on its under the North Pole transit in 1958. From that time forward he was hooked on submarines. He produced the film in order to educate the general public. His film has made submariners reflect on their service and their experiences.
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.
