Almost from the first days of seafaring, men have used ships for
“spying” and intelligence collection. Since early in the
twentieth century, with the technological advancements of radio and
radar, the U.S. Navy and other government agencies and many other
navies have used increasingly specialized ships and submarines to
ferret out the secrets of other nations. The United States and the
Soviet Union/Russia have been the leaders in those efforts,
especially during the forty-five years of the Cold War. But, as
Norman Polmar and Lee J. Mathers reveal, so has China, which has
become a major maritime power in the twenty-first century, with
special interests in the South China Sea and with increasing
hostility toward the United States. Through extensive, meticulous
research and through the lens of such notorious spy ship events as
the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, the North Korean capture of
the USS Pueblo, and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s
success in clandestinely salvaging part of a Soviet submarine with
the Hughes Glomar Explorer, Spy Ships is a fascinating and valuable
resource for understanding maritime intelligence collection and
what we have learned from it.
