At least Nimitz class was original when it came out.

Please someone - just one modern submarine novel which does not involve...

1) highjackings

2) madmen trying to deploy nuclear weapons

3) 50 US Submarines acting in Unisen

4) A problem that can only be solved by an experemental new weapon (which the submarine in question just conveniently happens to have

5) The Japanese, Russians, French or Germans just happening to sell a Submarine to a non-friendly state...for no other reason then it seems they wanted to make the seas a little more interesting that month.

6) Any book where the French are portrayed as incompetant in comparision to their US counterparts.

7) Any book where a country other then the United States is portrayed as incompetant in comparision to their US counterparts.

8) The Third World War.

9) A Third World War - which NATO goes on to win !?!?!

10) A book series with the Third World War, then the Forth World War, then the Fifth World War.

...err rant over...sorry
