During World War II; the U.S. Navy's submarine service suffered the highest casualty percentage of all the American armed forces; losing one in five submariners. But despite the odds; these underwater warriors accounted for almost 60 percent of Japanese shipping losses; and were a major factor in winning the war. 16 U.S. submarines - and one German U-Boat - that saw action during WWII are now open to the public. Most have been restored and authentically equipped. Final Patrol takes a fascinating look at these subs andthe personal stories of the brave sailors who lived; fought; and often died in them. Now; visitors can climb into these cramped steel cylinders; peer through their torpedo tubes; and imagine diving under the sea - perhaps for the last time - to stalk a fanatical enemy who threatened our nation's freedom.

On the other hand; globalisation is catching up with African people as well and we would need some new studies about the current situation.
