In 1776, American Patriots attempted to destroy the British flagship Eagle using a manoperated semisubmersible, the Turtle, in New York harbour. The attack failed, but the idea stuck. Almost 90 years later, the CSS Hunley successfully rammed into the Federal sloop USS Housatonic with a spar torpedo. The Housatonic became the first ship in naval history to be sunk by a submarine. The Worlds Greatest Submarines features the most significant submarines built, from the German U9 which sank three British cruisers on 22 September 1914 through the huge Japanese I400 class to the great nuclearpowered submarines of the Cold War, such as the USS Los Angeles and Soviet Oscar class. Also included are the undersea cruiser Surcouf; the highly successful Type VII Uboats of World War II; and the latest attack and ballistic missile submarines, such as HMS Astute, USS Virginia, the Chinese Type 094 and the Russian Yasen class. Each entry includes a brief description of the submarines development and history, a color profile or cutaway, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, The Worlds Greatest Submarines is an accessible guide for those interested in naval history.
