This Royal Navy produced stock reel contrasts the RN versus the Soviet Navy, its chief perceived adversary in combat. The film begins with shots of different modern merchant and oil tanker ships, as well as footage of Navy vessels. It also features footage of the Russian Navy in the 1970s beginning around the 2:30 mark, including helicopter carrying warships equipped with cruise missiles, amphibious assault ships, and more. Soviet amphibious forces are seen at the 4:30 mark including tanks, assault ships, and more. Russian bomber aircraft are seen at the 4:00 mark. The Soviet submarine fleet is profiled at the 5:00 mark with footage of SSBN nuclear missile and attack submarines. At the 6 minute mark, a Navy helicopter is shown making a rescue of stranded merchant seamen on the high seas.
At the 7:00 mark, Royal Navy ships are shown on maneuvers, including mine hunting warship M29, which uses an ROV to find enemy mines and detonate them. Nuclear powered hunter killer submarines are shown at the 8:40 mark launching homing torpedoes and harpoon missiles (this material was used in the Thomas Dolby video “One of Our Submarines is Missing btw!) Diesel submarines are seen at the 9:30 mark. An Invincible class carrier is shown at 9:45 with Sea Harrier aircraft, and ASW helicopters are seen at the 11:00 mark. The Sea Dart missile system is seen at the 12:30 mark, and Sea Wolf at 13:00. The 4.5 gun is shown at the 13:30 mark, capable of firing dozens of shells per minute. Support craft are shown at the 14:30 mark, including ships designed to enforce shipping regulations and protect British interests in the North Sea -- including members of the Royal Marines (15:20 mark) who would protect an oil platform against say the IRA. Snow troops are shown at 16:00. Polaris missile submarines are shown at the 17:00 mark.
The last part of the film shows a Naval exercise with the fleet, including emergency drill with simulated wounded and fire aboard ship.
The Invincible class was a class of light aircraft carrier operated by the Royal Navy. Three ships were constructed, HMS Invincible, HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal. The vessels were built as aviation-capable anti-submarine warfare (ASW) platforms to counter the Cold War North Atlantic Soviet submarine threat, and initially embarked Sea Harrier aircraft and Sea King HAS.1 anti-submarine helicopters. With the cancellation of CVA-01, the three ships became the replacements for Ark Royal and Eagle fleet carriers and the Centaur-class light fleet carriers, and the Royal Navy’s sole class of aircraft carrier.
The three vessels have seen active service in a number of locations, including the South Atlantic during the Falklands War, the Adriatic during the Bosnian War, and in the Middle East for the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.
Invincible was decommissioned in 2005 and put in reserve in a low state of readiness.
