| Title:
Submarine
by Jonathan Crane |
|
Description:
The
author spent one year negotiating with the Royal Navy
before gaining unprecedented access to this unknown world.
This fully illustrated book is a mine of new information
about the latest submarines. It traces the events of the
British nuclear-powered submarine 'Warspite' as she takes
part in a major NATO exercise as an enemy submarine. The
author investigates what it is like for the men who crew
the giant Polaris submarines - and for their wives at
home. He also gives a first-hand account of the extraordinary
pressures which are undergone by would-be submarine Commanders.
He then gives an account of the history of the submarine
and how it has developed as a fighting machine.
