Manual of Current (1944) Submarine Doctrine

Capt. S. A. Wood · 04-25-07, 02:33 PM

Found a manual involving the doctrine of submarine's in WWII. Seems to cover almost everything, and seems to be written in an Art of War kind of way with just lists of quotes or instructional sentences (always the best way).

Wow, sweet! I didn't think of searching that site for more gold nuggets after the one I found.

That's some great stuff, right there.
