Submariners is an expository-style
documentary series suitable for senior secondary students comprising six
half-hour episodes following the crew of HMAS Rankin, the newest of
Australia’s Collins-class submarines, as they sail halfway around the world to
take on the best of the US Navy in the world’s biggest naval war games. The film
focuses on those men and women who have made an extraordinary career choice that
sees them shut away from the world, their families and friends for months on
end. How do they cope with the confinement of their living and working
environment? How does their constant training help them to deal with the
emergencies that may endanger their boat and their lives? Explore the dynamics
of these keen, determined and professionally minded people as they undertake Rankin’s first overseas deployment: a voyage from Western Australia to
Korea, Japan, Hawaii and back home again.
