Description

In this four-part video and audio series, The Australian's Chief International Correspondent Cameron Stewart, executive producer Claire Harvey and editor Jasper Leak tell the incredible true story of how 60 Australian submariners saved their own lives – and their boat – when HMAS Dechaineux suddenly flooded at deep diving depth. 

Exclusive interviews with the captain, crew and top brass reveal the terror and emotion that still haunts this group of proud warriors, who risked their own lives every day in the defence of Australia.

The Flood is a truly inspirational story of human courage, resilience, teamwork and ingenuity.
