The Navy Times Book of Submarines: A Political, Social Andmilitary His Tapa blanda - 2001
de Brayton Harris; Walter J. Boyne (Editor)
A fascinating exploration of submarines from the first submersibles to U-boats to nuclear subs, this illustrated history is an unparalleled source for understanding the great "hunters of the deep". 32-page insert.
Resumen
Shattering long-held myths and misunderstandings, author Brayton Harris traces the development of the submarine through an era in which writers of fiction saw the merits better than most professionals-until the Germans almost won World War I. He covers the professional and political arrogance that delayed antisubmarine development for so long that German submarines almost won World War II as well, and examines post-war progress toward the truly awesome submarine of today.
Along the way, Harris explores the shifting moral issues of "unrestricted" naval warfare, outlines the hundred-year search for an effective underwater power plant that culminated in the nuclear reactor, and raises important questions about the future. A fascinating exploration of the steps and stumbles during development, a rousing tribute to those who fought and died, and a powerful study of the submarine's impact on America, The Navy Times Book of Submarines is an unparalleled source for understanding the great "hunters of the deep.

The submarine boat has been, with minor and largely uninteresting exceptions, a delivery system for weapons of war.
