For as long as people have desired to ascend to the heavens, they have also dreamed of exploring the oceans depths. As with the airplane, the development of the submarine has been driven by the urge to confront and conquer both ones environment and ones enemies.
The Submarine Book takes us from the first attempts to develop an underwater vehicle to the sophisticated technological developments that today have made submarines a vital instrument in the orchestration of national and international security. Other specialized submarines now play a role in the advancement of oceanographic research. Described here in detail, and illustrated with more than 110 historical drawings and photographs, are the ideas and designs of the early geniuses of submarine development.
