Soviet Navy vs U.S. Navy

The Cold War fought between the United States and the Soviet Union spanned the entire globe and the seven seas. Shown on this DVD are five rare films explaining both Soviet and American naval history, and revealing their capabilities at the height of the Cold War.

See the USSR's powerful aircraft carrier Kiev as it cruises the Mediterranean on its sea trials. Witness a Soviet fleet exercise involving cruisers, submarines, and hundreds of aircraft. (Note: this film was obtained be the C.I.A., dubbed into English, and is presented here in its entirety for the first time!) Watch as U.S. Navy pilots scramble their planes from nuclear powered aircraft carriers and perform a beach assault exercise for then-President John F. Kennedy. Judge for yourself how the navies of the two superpowers might have fared - if the Cold War had become a hot one!
