Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower
navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out
intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to
destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened
missile attacks on their adversary s homeland, providing in many
respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For
both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German
U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although
enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers
had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and
capabilities. Written in collaboration with the former Soviet
submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K. J. Moore
authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing
submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical
competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and
management caused the divergence.
