The U.S. Navy's latest two-man submarines, launched in a twin launching at New London. They're built for extensive ocean research at depth of up to two thousand feet. The Navy predicts squadrons of them in the future. They're launched by crane, which picks them up and plops them in! Panning shot of the dock with two small 2-man submarines sitting on it. On one of the twin submarines the name "Star III" can be seen written on the side. A Man and woman lean in to look inside the sub through a port hole. Various shots of the submarines from different angles. A crane lifts one of the little submarines and gently places it in the water. Each submarine is placed in the water on opposite sides of the dock
