About this listen

The crew is back in the vault for a high-stakes roundtable on the apex predators of the deep. In this episode, Corey, Devin, and Matthew each pitch their "top" submarine, moving from the terrifying efficiency of the German U-boat wolfpacks to the sheer endurance of the American Balao-class. We wrap up with a look at the Russian Oscar II-class, specifically the K-141 Kursk, analyzing the engineering and geopolitical weight behind these massive submersibles.


It’s an unscripted, blunt analysis of naval sieges, "Happy Times" for the Kriegsmarine, and the mechanical evolution that turned the ocean into a global tripwire.
