Account of the Royal Navy’s submarines throughout their first 100 years of operations. Includes important technical developments and specification tables, analysis of single submarines or a whole class of craft, notable actions, important individuals and more unusual events are all examined in detail. The book gives a chronological, class-by-class analysis of all British subamrine classes.
Submarines are the most formidable ships of the Royal Navy today. Traditionally, the world of submarines and submariners has been firmly closed to outsiders, partly because of the secret nature of submarine operations, but partly because such inscrutability serves to heighten the Submarine Service’s elite reputation. For the BBC TV series Submarine producer Jonathan Crane spent one year negotiating with the Royal Navy before gaining unprecedented access to this unknown world. With a small film crew he spent many weeks on different types of British submarines during a variety of genuine operations.
Contains subjects covering the wishful enterprise – A Glimmer of Success – The birth of the Modern Submarine – The first reckoning – War against Commerce – Between the Wars – The Battle of the Atlantic – The Battle of the Mediterranean – The Battle of the Pacific – The most formidable weapon.
