The emergence of the submarine in 1914 as a major strategic weapon
was swift and unexpected. On 5 September 1914, a British light
cruiser, HMS Pathfinder, was sunk by the German submarine U-21,
becoming the first victim of a free-fired torpedo. The basis of
naval warfare had been changed forever. Submarines offers a highly
illustrated guide to all the main classes of submarines to be used
in naval warfare from the beginning of World War I to the present
day. Divided by era, campaign and country, the book includes
sections on submarine forces in 1914, technical developments during
the 1930s, the Atlantic convoy war during World War II, Soviet
submarine development during the Cold War, the introduction of
nuclear-powered submarines, submarines of the Falklands War, and
the latest ICBM carriers. Special emphasis is given to the U-Boats
of World War II, arranged by flotilla. All the main types are
included, from the World War I-era German U-1 and British F-class,
through the Type VII U-boats and US Gato class of World War II, and
coming up-to-date with the latest missile submarines, such as HMS
Astute, USS Virginia, the Russian Borei class, the Chinese Shang
class and the INS Arihant.
