Submarines of World War Two provides, for the first time in one fully-illustrated volume, accurate and comprehensive details of the 2,500 submarines of all nations that accounted for the sinking of more than 23 million tons of merchant shipping between 1939 and 1945. With over 500 photographs and line drawings, it presents an unrivaled encyclopedia of one of the great decisive weapons of the twentieth century
Details of every submarine commissioned into the Royal Navy from the first Holland boat launched in 1901 to the Trafalgar Class, the name boat of which is now fitting out the trails in 1983. Although intended as a directory, the book provides a complete illustrated history of the development of submarine design and armament over 80 years.
Submarines have played a vital role in naval warfare since World War I, and with the decision to place nuclear warheads in ballistic missiles in the 1950s, the submarine was thrust into the forefront of international strategy and defense. Today, the nuclear deterrents of the globe’s major military powers are either wholly or largely submerged beneath the ocean.
