This book offers a rare view of working class life in the nineteen thirties and forties, and entry into the very different world of Royal Navys Wardrooms.
Commander Crabb was undoubtedly the most famous British frogman of WWII, being a pioneer in the development of this branch of underwater warfare, and leaning much from the technology and tactics used by his Italian counterparts. Ironically, he was later to work with them clearing Italian ports of obstructions and unexploded weapons as the Allies gradually occupied the country.
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.
