Silent Service Tapes

Ordering Silent Service DVD's

Twenty one episodes of The Silent Service TV episodes (1957 – 1963) are now available in DVD format to members of the past and present submarine world. Each episode is about 20-25 minutes in length with the ads taken out, and come as 3 episodes per DVD. Quality is good to excellent considering they were B&W 45 years ago. Identify your order of these DVDs using section 3 on the order blank.

At this point, and after some 26 years of effort, we have no clear cut release from any "supposed" copyright owner (NBC, Paramount, Sony, GE, ad naseum) of these episodes and that is why it reads "suggested donation" for the dollar amounts below. This is also why you don't see these for sale on eBay nor to the "general" audience etal at this time. We're hoping to bury the issue (probably along with me) by the year 2011 and get them to USSVI at that time... Since a "cease and desist letter from NBC (14 years ago) we have had the New York Post defend our actions with their editorials (and they're owned by GE which owns NBC = lots of fun over the years). NBC would not, nor could not prove ownership and would not release their right "if any" as our attorney tried to get them to do - so we all wait while the great men these stories tell of are dying out at an exponential speed. We even have a past President of NBC on our side of this fight. Can you imagine trying to joist windmills you can't get to stand still?

Note ** Those episodes so marked with are "quite grainy" in their appearance since they were taped from a live broadcast over 40 years ago from a low power UHF T.V. station to the receiving television set equipped with "rabbit ears" - BUT - viewing them now reminds us "old guys" of exactly how they looked when we viewed them "live" almost 50 years ago (and why a lot of us ended up on submarines!).

Note *** These two episodes had moving time stamps embedded in the original masters and not being able to remove these we have covered them over with our company logo - at least this way it is not as distracting as before.
