Submarines celebrates the United States Submarine Force in a definitive,
magnificently illustrated, large format book published with the Naval
Submarine League. Written by an outstanding team, including historians,
authors, and experts associated with the Navy, as well as several
distinguished active and retired Submarine officers, United States
Submarines has over 350 pages of riveting and informative text and stories
of the submarine experience. Included in the list of distinguished authors are
Admiral James Watkins, Vice Admiral Joe Williams, Jr., and Rear Admiral
Maurice Rindskopf, and a score of others.
Essays on submarine history and today's submariners, focus not only on the
subs, torpedoes, and related technologies, but especially on the people that
make it all work. The thoughtful incorporation of full color and vintage
photography, portraits, recruiting posters and historically inspired paintings
complements the text while adding the excitement that only spectacular
illustration can bring to a book.
United States Submarines enables the history of America’s submariners
to be cherished permanently in a handsome package that every submariner and
many Navy personnel will be proud to own and, with its unique medallion-inlaid
cover, to display. This book will be read again and again by past and present
submariners, their families and friends, and the countless others that have
been inspired by the exploits of the United States Submarine Force and the
mysteries and excitement of undersea warfare.
