Jules Hudson presents the first of two documentaries following a deepwater diving team as they search the sea bed off the coast of Northern Ireland for the forgotten shipwrecks of the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest naval campaign of the Second World War. Among their first discoveries are an allied escort vessel sunk in battle 40 miles off Donegal, and the wrecks of German U-boats that prowled the Northern Ireland coast looking for targets. On dry land, Jules uncovers the remains of a massive US military base in Derry.
