From the steam-powered models introduced in World War I to today's
nuclear-powered, multiweaponed technological wonders, submarines
have revolutionized warfare on the world's seas. This volume
follows the extraordinary development of this key component of the
world's navies. Submarines: An Illustrated History of Their Impact
reveals how underwater warships evolved to become major threats to
battle fleets and merchant shipping, as well as primary platforms
for deterrent forces and crucial symbols of military power. In a
series of chronological chapters, Submarines describes key
developments in diving ability, underwater endurance, and weapons
capabilities in specific periods, while highlighting strategic and
operational innovations; the role of technological research; famous
submarine events, battles, and commanders; and the impact of
submarine services on naval society. The book also includes an
illustrated reference section covering every submarine class
worldwide since 1900. This coverage plus additional reference
features make Submarines an essential introduction to a weapons
system that has long held the public's imagination.
