Combat Ships, Season 3

The greatest naval battles, from the age of sail to the Cold War. The experimental, breakthrough vessels (and designers) that revolutionized maritime warfare. The sunken ships, whose stories of bravery and sacrifice lie on ocean floors, still waiting to be discovered. This season, we examine more remarkable combat ships, from cannon armed sailing ships to cutting-edge battleships, as well as the heroic men and women who sailed them into battle, often paying the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
