From early submersibles to nuclear-powered subs, Submarines is an accessible guide for those interested in naval history. Submarines features the most significant submarines built, from the German U-9 – which sank three British cruisers on September 22, 1914 – to the huge Japanese I-400 class and the great nuclear-powered submarines of the Cold War, such as USS
Los Angeles and the Soviet Oscar class.
Also included are the ‘undersea cruiser’
Surcouf; the highly successful Type VII U-boats of World War II; and the latest attack and ballistic missile submarines, such as HMS
Astute, USS
Virginia, the Chinese Type 094, and the Russian Yasen class.
Each entry includes a brief description of the submarine’s development and history, a color profile or cutaway, key features, and specifications.
