Silent Service DVD's
Thank you for your interest regarding the Silent Service episodes now available on DVD. After reviewing the information below, please let me know by email if you wish to follow up with an order at which point I'll put you on a "reserved list" until such time as I receive your payment, (my mailing address is shown below).
Regarding the Silent Service" t.v. episodes (1957 - 1963) that are available; anyone who works within our area of past, present and future interest - you are part of our submarine world. We cannot make these episodes available to the general public as we are STILL in continued negotiations with the "supposed" original copyright owners to get these (78 total) episodes released to the United States Submarine Veterans. These negotiations were first started by me over 23 years ago and have yet to be satisfactorily concluded. Bottom line is that NBC, Paramount (and others) can not agree on which one "if any" own the copyrights after these +/- 48 years. And no, they are NOT available anywhere else on this planet.
Each episode is about 20-25 minutes in length with the ads taken out, and come in 3 per DVD. Quality is good to excellent considering they were B&W 45 years ago. These discs are produced for very little profit, which we then use for further efforts at film preservation and acquisition. I continue the ongoing attempt to locate and preserve future findings...

** Note: These episodes 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 subs!).
