In season 2 episode 2 of HELL BELOW, titled "Submarine Sabotage," the focus is on a group of elite Japanese submarine commanders who were tasked with taking an aggressive stance against the Allied forces during World War II.

As the episode opens, viewers are introduced to Japan's long history with submarine warfare dating back to early 20th century. The episode then moves on to the outbreak of WWII, with Japanese submariners making headlines all around the world due to their notorious attacks against US Navy ships. This is where the real story begins.

The episode introduces viewers to one such group of highly skilled Japanese submariners operating in the Pacific. Led by Commander Isao Fujimoto, this group of sailors was responsible for executing some of the most daring attacks of the war. They are seen striking fear into the hearts of Allied sailors.

However, the tides quickly turn when the Allies up their game and begin developing an unimaginable technology that could detect enemy submarines from miles away. Forced to adapt to their newfound disadvantage, Fujimoto and his group are depicted as being resourceful, using their initiative to carry out covert operations under the hulls of enemy ships, evading depth charges, and planning ingenious ways to deceive Allied sonar detection systems.

The episode really picks up steam when, in a bold move, Fujimoto discovers a way to sabotage ships from within without ever having to attack them. This approach used smoke generators to ensure that the torpedoes launched by enemy ships could not lock on to their targets. This ingenious tactic allowed the Japanese submarine commander's boats to pass undetected right under the noses of Allied convoys.

In a nutshell, the episode "Submarine Sabotage" is a riveting tale of high-voltage drama and geopolitical strategy. It is a story that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat. The stakes are high, and it’s clear that the outcome of the war hangs in the balance. This episode encapsulates the gut-wrenching, morally complex, and highly volatile nature of submarine warfare in the Pacific during World War II.
