Omtale fra forlaget
At the beginning of the twentieth century, submarines were small, limited in range and probably as lethal to their crews as they were to the enemy. Today, submarines are among the most capable and expensive units of the fleet. Early submariners were regarded as little better than pirates, while today they are entrusted with the awesome weapons of mass destruction. Twice this century the submarine threat has nearly forced Britain to her knees, while on the other side of the world the relentless submarine campaign conducted by the United States against Japan brought that country to the brink of defeat long before the dropping of the Atom bomb.#11;In Submarine Action, Paul Kemp investigates submarine warfare from the early days of the twentieth century to the present - a period that has seen a revolution in submarine design and capability. By examining aspects of submarine life and operations thematically, rather than chronologically or by country, the author covers each topic in depth and allows comparisons to be made between early methods and the way things are done today.#11;Supported by a comprehensive selection of photographs, the author's narrative looks in detail at life below deck; the construction of submarines; means of navigation and communication; weaponry and tactics; submarine aircraft carriers; 'wolf packs'; and the midget submarines. Kemp describes the methods used to hunt and destroy submarines, and relates 'mistaken identity' incidents where submarines have been sunk in error by forces on their own side. He also examines blockade running; special operations; escape and salvage; and concludes by looking at the future of the world's submarine fleets.#11;Submarine Action is an important contribution to naval history and will appeal to all with an interest in this constantly evolving weapon of war.
