Synopsis
Of all types of battle zone movement, the most difficult to detect has been that of submerged craft. This mode of clandestine activity is centuries old and was first used offensively, although unsuccessfully over 200 years ago in 1776. In this thorough study of the topic - the most comprehensive ever attempted in the English language - Paul Kemp provides ample evidence of the diverse tasks undertaken by the underwater warriors. He proved sufficient technical data for the reader to understand the mechanics of this element of naval warfare, before being taken on the myriad subversive actions performed by these fascinating crafts.
