Submarines features the most significant submarines built, from the German U-9—which sank three British cruisers on September 22, 1914—through the huge Japanese I-400 class, to the great nuclear-powered submarines of the Cold War, such as the USS Los Angeles and Soviet Oscar class.
Also included are the “undersea cruiser” Surcouf; the highly successful Type VII U-boats of World War II; and the latest attack and ballistic missile submarines, such as HMS Astute, USS Virginia, the Chinese Type 094, and the Russian Yasen class. Each entry includes a brief description of the submarine's development and history, a color profile or cutaway, key features, and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, Submarines is an accessible guide for those interested in naval history.
