I'm thinking about buying it, but wanted to know if info on the more modern subs (LA, SW, Akula's) was detailed enough to be satisfying (which yes, I know 'satisfying is relative) with some mock diagrams of layouts.

Has anyone ever bought/seen it?
I do not have this one but do have U.S. Subs in action - a squadron/signal publications WARSHIPS NO. 2. Was $3.95 when I go it. About 50 pages all with great photos and comments. Covers all boats from the S-class to the Gato/Balao/Tench classes.

Also have US Submarines in World War II - An Illustrated History. By Larry Kimmett and Margaret Regis. Picked it up at the USS Nautlis museum outside of Groton Ct. couple years ago, Excellent book with lots of photos and articles on the sub battles. Also covers some subs in particular and the Medal of Honor men.

Happy Hunting
