About this title

Synopsis

The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines. Originally thought to be Un-English, submarines helped us win two World Wars and have played a great part in Britain's nuclear deterrent for the past thirty years. Originally some of the small subs had crews of less than ten men, unlike today's nuclear homeopaths with crews of almost one hundred. Submariners are a breed apart; ask any submariner and they'll tell you they think and act differently from the regular navy. Submariners is the story of the submarine service in the words of the men involved.

From the Publisher

The Senior Service has, for a hundred years, had submarines. Originally thought to be un– English, submarines helped the British win two world wars and have played a great part in Britain’s nuclear deterrence program. Submariners are a breed apart, according to themselves. Here is a collection of stories from the men involved in the submarine service.

Keith Hall is a serving navy officer and has served on submarines for over twenty years. He lives close to the Clyde Submarine Base in Scotland’s Gareloch. This is his third book on submarines.
