United States Submarines FROM OUR EDITORS
Over 700 photographs, more than half of them in color, grace this spectacular coffee table tribute to the American submarine. However, this is no mere pictorial. The essays on submarine history and technology are comprehensive and authoritative, and the stories of dangerous battles beneath the waves are gripping.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
The submarine, first introduced to America's fleet in 1900, is today a 300-foot-long, 30-foot-wide vessel filled with some of the world's most sophisticated technology and courageous, skilled, all-volunteer personnel. In each submarine, over 100 crew members work together for months at a time to protect U.S. interests around the world. Written by an outstanding team, United States Submarines contains essays on submarine history and today's submariners, focusing not only on the subs, torpedoes, and related technologies but especially on the people who make it all work. Full-color and vintage photography, portraits, recruiting posters, and historically inspired paintings complement the riveting text.
