The 40-year-old actor spent several days on HMS Talent learning the life of a submariner, and he remained on board when the vessel left Gibraltar to take part in war games in the Mediterranean.

However, London-based Law, whose film credits include The Talented Mr Ripley and Sherlock Holmes, was not allowed to see the most sensitive operational areas of the hi-tech submarine.

The actor is due to star in the film Black Sea as a British submarine captain who embarks on a hunt for a stolen submarine with gold on board.

He was very down-to-earth, he went around every department and worked out with the Captain

Crewmen said he immersed himself in the job and made sure he ate with all the officers and sailors. Leading Seaman Anthony Morgan said: “He was very down-to-earth, he went around every department and worked out with the Captain.”

When Law left he was given a “dolphin” badge, which is presented to newly-qualified submariners.

Trailer for Submarine Thriller ‘Phantom’ with Harris, Duchovny

Phantom Trailer

Ed Harris & David Duchovny, both of them in a Cold War submarine thriller called Phantom? The cast in this, beyond Harris and Duchovny, also includes some other fantastic actors: William Fitchtner,Sean Patrick Flanery, Johnathon Schaech and Lance Henriksen.

Harris plays the captain of a Cold War Soviet missile submarine who has secretly been suffering from seizures that alter his perception of reality. There’s some odd supernatural-y twists, but otherwise this just looks like another solid submarine thriller.

The Captain of a Soviet submarine holds the fate of the world in his hands. On a seemingly haunted vessel, with a rogue element on board, Captain Demi (Ed Harris) is forced to face his past in order to find redemption in the present. But, in the depths of the South Pacific, man and machine are not alone.

Phantom was both written & directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Todd Robinson, of a few docs previously like Wild Bill: Hollywood Maverick and Amargosa, as well as the crime film Lonely Heartspreviously. RCR Distribution is releasing Phantom in theaters on March 1st, 2013
