THE WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SUBMARINES

A complete history of over 150 underwater vessels from the Hunley and Nautilus to today's nuclear-powered submarines

John Parker with Francis Crosby

This newly updated and expanded book charts over 120 years of underwater vessels, from the earliest attempts to travel beneath the waves, two World Wars and the Cold War, through to the powerful machines that permanently roam the seas today. The first part details the history of submarine design and development concluding with an overview of modern nuclear-powered submarines that patrol today's seas.

The second part is a guide to over 150 submarines from around the world providing an in-depth look at the sheer inventiveness and genius of the submarine builders.

Specification panels for each entry provide information on length, displacement, speed, armament, propulsion and complement. Illustrated with more than 700 historical and modern photographs, this book is an essential guide for anyone interested in naval history and warfare.

John Parker has written more than 35 books, published in over 75 editions worldwide. Among his published titles are Submarine Heroes; Royal Marine Commandos; and Royal Navy Task Force.

Francis Crosby is a well-respected author of military books and military advisor to the media industry.
