Good nonfiction modern nuclear/electric sub books?

Wildcat · 05-26-17, 08:34 AM

I'm looking for a nonfiction book on modern nuke boats or elec/diesel boats, 688i during Iraq conflict etc.

Not particularly interested in deep character studies.

I would mostly like to understand how the captain (or whoever wrote the book) operated leading up to / during a mission or campaign. I'd like to improve my knowledge about tactics and strategy and apply the skills to sims like DW, Harpoon etc.

A lot of this info seems to still be classified so I understand it might be a tall order, but one can still hope.

Any suggestions welcome. No fiction stuff unless it's clearly based on reality, please.

Come on, on a forum this big not one person has a single suggestion?

Surely this kind of book exists somewhere?!

Submarine By Tom Clancy is about your best bet.
