In two World Wars the German Navy showed its undoubted skill in submarine warfare; they introduced it during the first war, and it brought them close to victory on both occasions. This book – and its companion volume – deals with the material as opposed to the historical aspect of German submarines during the Second World War. It lists in detail the evolution, development, and technical data on the greatest submarine fleet the world has ever seen, together with building details and the fate of each individual submarine. This volume covers the designs studied and put into production up to the outbreak, and during the early stages, of the war. The scale drawings showing the general internal arrangements of both the types put into production as well as those projected, are of special interest.
A Source Book of Submarines and Submersibles is mainly a summary of many of the key types in service over the years up to the publication date in 1976. Each type is supported by a single illustration and an extremely brief text description. These are placed in some kind of context by a brief history of submarines in the introduction.
Containing information of a general nature on admiralty charts and navigational publications issued by the Hydrographic department, Admiralty, and notes on general navigation and general meterology and ice. This is the first edition prepared by Capt. S.J. Hennessey, O.B.E, R.N. Superintdent of Sailing Directions in the Hydrographic Department.
