operations a secretive and mysterious organisation. The men who serve in
these underwater warships are a rule unto themselves and many wonder how
they cope with life in asteel tube beneath the waves. This book tells it
how it really is. The inherent insanity needed to spend weeks or months
cooped up in a steel tube, hundreds of feet beneath the hostile oceans of
the world spills over into the day to day release of tension when the crews
of these capital warships decide to let rip. Chas Cooke spent 13 years in
the submarine service and served in three of the main classes of submarine
in the Royal Navy inventory. From Diesel electric to Nuclear missile
carriers, Chas went to sea in them. The book tells of the bizarre behaviour
of the men with whom he served but also relates an underlying thread of the
hardships endured by the wives and families while their men are at sea. The
burden that such a life places upon family and marriage is hard to
contemplate but Chas intersperses this hilarious script with glimpses into
the harsher side of life in the Submarine Service. A must read book.

From the Author
people. Firstly to the men with whom I served who were the best and most
loyal friends I could have wished for, a group to whom the motto, One for
All and All for One really does apply. Secondly to the wives and families
of submariners worldwide, friend and, in the past, enemy, who endure
unimaginable hardship and loneliness while their husbands, sons, fathers
etc are away at sea. Unable to contact each other for months on end those
waiting at home have only themselves to look to in time of trouble and
wait, always unsure whether their loved ones will return.
