Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Whiskey-class (Soviet Project 613) submarines were the most numerous submarine produced after 1945. The type is best Known in the West for the 1981 'Whiskey on the Rocks' incident when an example became stranded in Swedish waters but had a long and successful career with the Soviet and allied navies. Whiskey-class Submarines: Soviet Project 613 Submarines in Service with Foreign Navies, 1951-1990 examines the very successful foreign use of this Soviet design, often derided within the West as being based upon obsolete Second World War German technologies and consequently of little threat or concern. As the Project 613 boats were replaced by newer types in Soviet service, a number of vessels were exported to allied or client states where they operated in several conflicts without loss. The type was able to evade contemporary British sonars and was used to successfully land special forces inside enemy territory without detection. This book describes the service history of the type with the Albanian, Bulgarian, Egyptian, Indonesian, Polish and Syrian fleets, and looks at Chinese production of the type and their service with the People's Liberation Army Navy. In addition, the experience of the crews and captains are examined. Whiskey-class Submarines: Soviet Project 613 Submarines in Service with Foreign Navies, 1951-1990 is illustrated with many photographs, very often extremely rare, and includes specially commissioned color artworks.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Though generally underestimated in the West, the Soviet export of destroyers played a vital role in buildup of the navies of Moscow's allies and satellites. Soviet and Russian-built Destroyers in service with foreign Navies 1904-2023, Volume 1 examines Russian and Soviet military ship exports between 1904 and the 1930s, including Japan, Finland, Indochina, Germany, Estonia and Peru and their little-known participation in a number of military confrontations. The export of Soviet warships has gained modest attention compared with aircraft, tanks or SAMs, with coverage usually limited to the description of submarines and fast-attack boats exports. Soviet and Russian-built Destroyers in service with foreign Navies, 1904-2023 provides a detailed description of Soviet-made destroyers' service in foreign navies, including the purchase negotiations and transfers, their participation in a number of confrontations, and subsequent modernisation of the vessels, and the careers of many of their commanding officers. This work also looks at the building of ships to Soviet and Russian designs in the shipyards of China and India. Included in Soviet and Russian-built Destroyers in service with foreign Navies, 1904-2023 is the deeper background to the history of Russian shipbuilding, stretching back over two centuries to the early post-Napoleonic period, with Volume 1 focussing on exports and service between 1904 and the 1930s. This work is illustrated by many extremely rare photographs along with specially commissioned color artworks.
