About This Book

This work surveys the technical evolution, operational employment, and countermeasures of submarine warfare, combining description of design and tactics with analysis of naval policy and case studies. Chapters explain contemporary submarine capabilities, bases, and theatres of operation, and examine the roles of trawlers, drifters, destroyers, special armed auxiliaries, and anti-submarine techniques. It balances technical explanation with narrative accounts of particular engagements and expedients such as disguised merchant raiders and harbour assaults, and reflects on the moral and national dimensions that shaped strategy and conduct at sea.
