Dark Waters is a breathtaking adventure story about one of America's most closely guarded secret Cold War weapons. It follows the creation, construction and clandestine Cold War operations of the smallest nuclear-powered submarine in the US Navy, a one-of-a-kind ship so secret that it wasn't even given a proper name. This is a true story of cover operations, imminent danger, personal bravery, technological wonder and historic discovery in a deep underwater environment never before patrolled by mankind.
