Does anyone of you Wetsiders ever watch this program? They have dived on & sonar scanned several WW2 wrecks. Tonight was the HMS. Prince of Wales, the I-124 in Darwin Harbor & the HMAS. Perth in Sunda Strait. The show has also found HMS. Hood & USS Lexington. Quite a facinating show. I was just wondering of any of the WaS players have seen it.

I saw most of an episode with Bismarck and Arizona. For an hour long program thy seemed to just repeat the same 5 minutes of footage and history over and over and over again. I love WWII ships more than anything and the show couldn't hold my attention until the end. I was going to go crazy if I heard the narrator say "What if we could drain the oceans" one more time.

This.

I've seen some of the earlier eps but not those mentioned in the first post. Programmes like this are okay but are repetitive and partly aimed at a broad audience with limited prior knowledge, so the spoken content can seem a bit dumbed down.
