As a result, the film presents a never before seen look inside a state of the art nuclear powered sub on patrol. It show in extraordinary detail, the daily ordinary and extraordinary lives of submariners. You will see and hear things that you have never seen before. Steel Boats also shows the training, family life,off time activities, etc. Viewers visit a "wet trainer" at Sub School to see what these submariners endure when they climb inside one of these remarkable ships. Who are these men, who live confined in a steel tube deep in the ocean for months at a time, surrounded by a hostile environment, in constant danger? What do they do and why do they do it? Reviews: "Steel Boats - Iron Men captured the essence of submarining: the people their heritage, training, dedication, fierce competitiveness and immense personal and professional pride. A most powerful film which should appeal to all ages in all walks of life." - Captain John Vick, USN Submarine Captain (Retired). "Crowded into the U.S.S. Hyman Rickover, the filmmakers powerfully convey the confinement and brotherhood on board as the crew participates in stressful fire and attack drills. The history of submarining is chronicled, and the rigorous testing of prospective submariners is shown for the first time. Plunging into the psyche of these highly intelligent sailors and probing the allure of their undersea life, this production fascinates and informs." - Video Review Magazine Review "This film captured the essence of submarining: the people, their heritage, training, dedication, fierce competitiveness, immense personal and professional pride." -- Captain John Vick, USN Submarine Captain (Retired). ## Images ![Submarine: Steel Boats - Iron Men - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Id3DMp2cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2022* I enjoyed this video ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great depiction of a Los Angeles class attack submarine patrol and training *by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014* Submarines have always fascinated me even though I could never be in the Silent Service. My psychological makeup just would not let me be there. A friend of mine from long ago college did go into the Silent Service. I never would have expected that of him. This DVD is amazing, a camera crew allowed on an active attack boat for a three? six? month cruise. The tight quarters shown. It does _not_ matter how big the boat gets, the quarters and other "rooms" on the boat are alway tight (a submarine is always called a boat by the way). Extremely interesting even if the LA class is being retired now and replaced by a newer "bigger" class of fast attack boat called the "Virginia" class. The Virginia class is only 15 feet longer than the LA class sub and has whopping 34 feet .beam vs a 33 feet beam for the LA class. (Beam is essentially the diameter of the hull.) This cruise took place in 1989. A couple my wife and I are friends with have a son on a Virginia class sub. The husband was able to spend a few days on board the sub with his son as they were returning to port in the Fall of 2013. The wife will never be able to do do so. But maybe this DVD will give her an idea of the experience her son went through during training and goes through during a cruise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Introduction Into the Modern Silent Service *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2009* This short documentary of just under an hour gives you a very brief history of the submarine service and an introduction into what it takes to become and live on a US. Nuclear submarine. There is some filming of the crew and operations with a couple of drills on a SSN. This brief glimpse is amazing considering how the service does not wish to share information on a weapon system that relies on secrecy. Having been on a nuclear submarine I can tell you that they filmed on an actual boat and if you are interested in modern submarines this is worth watching for the brief glimpse into that world. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10326286-submarine-steel-boats-iron-men](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10326286-submarine-steel-boats-iron-men) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
