Beginning with a detailed history, this book follows the development of the submarine from the Cold War onwards, with special topics including life aboard the Dreadnought, the ballistic boomers, the tragedy of the Kursk and deep sea survival teams. There is also a discussion of the submarines of the future, such as the new conversions that will be equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles and unmanned undersea vehicles for special operations. The second part of the book is a country-by-country guide to over 50 submarines. The book is illustrated with over 250 photographs showing submarines in action. With its wealth of illustrations and information, this volume provides both enthusiasts and histroian with information about the world's modern submarines, and is an essential book for anyone interested in naval history.
