Deze documentaire over de Tweede Wereldoorlog berust op een ongebruikelijke stelling: er wordt beweerd dat, in de nasleep van Pearl Harbor, de acties die door de U.S.A.F. die werkelijk hielpen het tij te keren, werden niet gepleegd door de alom bejubelde U.S.N. piloten of vliegdekschepen, maar door de Amerikaanse onderzeeërs – stille krijgers onder het bedrieglijk rustige oceaanoppervlak. De onderzeeërs waren tenslotte verantwoordelijk voor het ernstig verwonden van de Japanse industrie, het vrijwel vernietigen van de Japanse koopvaardijvloot en het voorkomen van versterking van de Japanse militaire garnizoenen. Bij het weergeven van dit verhaal maakt het programma gebruik van een reeks interviews met militaire veteranen en eindeloze archiefbeelden van zeeslagen die chronologisch het aangrijpende verhaal vertellen van het Pacifische front van de oorlog.
