What Makes This Submarine So Dangerous? | Colossal Machines | National Geographic UK

Since the dawn of time, humans have braved the tides and waves, navigating one of the most powerful forces on earth - water. This Ohio class submarine is 170m long, yet manages to remain hidden every time it dives to the bottom of the ocean. With 24 trident missiles, each holding 5 warheads, which can hit up to 120 different targets in one attack, this submarine is one of the most dangerous machines ever built.

Find out how cutting edge technology is used to break the barriers to extreme water travel in brand new episodes of Colossal Machines. Season premiere tonight at 8pm, on National Geographic UK. 📺
