Driftwood ,how many submarines do you think have been sunk by another submarine when both were submerged? ONE, right at the end of WW2 a german u-boat that was being very noisy and obvious was dispatched by an RN submarine.the technology was just not there during most of the war to do the job.

Might be nice to have the reading lists for the PCO and Perisher courses. P.S. I'm really enjoying Admiral Bryants book Submarine Commander! Nice getting a British perspective of WWII submarine operations.

I know a guy who was an officer on a british submarine (both diesel and nuclear left the service in 1996) he will not even talk to me about the subject nor hint at it in anyway, every time i talk to him he has a nack of taking it off on a tangent.

Here's two more for the list. "Wahoo" (which I've just finished) and "Clear the Bridge" (about half way through) both by RADM Richard O'Kane. Excellent primers (IMHO) on WWII fleet boat tactics. A very interesting part about the first book (Wahoo) was seeing the difference between how a peace time sub skipper and the newer, younger war time skippers conned their boats. I highly recommend these to anyone interested in US submarine exploits during WWII. If you can I suggest reading Wahoo first as that's where O'Kane begins his own story as XO of the Wahoo, moving on to take command of the Tang in "Clear the Bridge."

books on submarine tactics
@ Driftwood:
You're right, both are top notch books that give a lot of info on sub tactics, besides being good reading.
