The Submariners.  Life in British Submarines 1901 - 1999. by John Winton.


The Submariners. Life in British Submarines 1901 - 1999. by John Winton.

This is the first published selection of personal accounts of life aboard the Royal Navys submarines. From the Holland boats of 1901 to the giant Trident nuclear vessels of today, these vivid first-hand descriptions detail the tense patrols of the First and Second World Wars, the torpedo attacks on enemy warships, U-boats and merchant vessels, the horrors of depth-charging, the daring clandestine operations by bodies such as Force 136, and the midget submarine attacks on the Tirpitz. There are accounts of the deterrent patrols of the Cold War, and what happened in the controversial sinking of the General Belgrano during the Falklands War.

The Impact of Polaris, edited by Captain J E Moore R.N.


The Impact of Polaris, edited by Captain J E Moore R.N.

Although the introduction of Polaris as the British Seaborne Nuclear Deterrent was the largest peacetime naval programme of the century, one which was almost unique in being completed on time and within its budget, very little has been published to explain how this great project was carried through. This book contains a series of articles by those involved in the inception, continuation and completion of the Polaris programme for the Royal Navy - people from the Chief Polaris Executive to Chief Petty Officers in the first ballistic missile submarine, HMS Resolution, as well as civil servants, designers, engineers and officers of the US Navy.
