Today's combat submarine holds a crew of less than 200 men, equal
to a company of infantry. Yet these few submariners can command a
sea or destroy a civilization. Never has so much combat power been
wielded by so few warriors. This concentration of power is made
possible by innovative use of technologies, including rocketry,
acoustics, hydrodynamics, nuclear power, advanced chemistry, unique
materials and a host of others.
Unlike other 20th century military innovations - the tank, the
airplane and nuclear explosives - the submarine remains shrouded in
secrecy, a truly "silent service." This book surveys the state of
submarine technology worldwide, and examines research advances that
will shape the second century of submarines.
