Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and comprehensive account of how an initially ineffectual underwater boat—originally derided and loathed in equal measure—evolved into the most powerful and terrifying vessel ever invented—with enough destructive power to end all life on Earth. Iain Ballantyne considers the key episodes of submarine warfare and vividly describes the stories of brave individuals who have risked their lives under the sea, often with fatal consequences. His analysis of underwater conflict begins with Archimedes discovering the Principle of Buoyancy. Our clandestine journey then moves through the centuries and focuses on prolific characters with deathly motives, including David Bushnell, who in 1775 in America devised the first combat submarine with the idea of attacking the British. Today, nuclear-powered submarines are among the most complex, costly ships in existence. Armed with nuclear weapons, they have the ability to destroy millions of lives: they are the most powerful warships ever created. At the heart of this thrilling narrative lurks danger and power as we discover warfare’s murkiest secrets.

Book excerpt: An encyclopedic study of the ship-killer par excellence—from its development to post-World War II usage. “A well-written book, lavishly illustrated.” —International Journal of Maritime History The torpedo was the greatest single game-changer in the history of naval warfare. For the first time it allowed a small, cheap torpedo-firing vessel—and by extension a small, minor navy—to threaten the largest and most powerful warships afloat.The traditional concept of seapower, based on huge fleets of expensive capital ships, required radical rethinking because of this important naval weapon. This book is a broad-ranging international history of the weapon, tracing not only its origins and technical progress down to the present day, but also its massive impact on all subsequent naval wars. Torpedo contains much new technical information that has come to light over the past thirty years and covers all of the improved capabilities of the weapon. Heavily illustrated with photos and technical drawings this is a book no enthusiast or historian can afford to miss. “The torpedo—one of the most fearsome weapons ever created by man—is well worth its own history.” —Forum Navale

Download or read book Living with the Torpedo: Anti-Submarine Warfare, Command, and Shipboard Life in the US Navy During World War II written by George P. Sotos Usn and published by Mt. Vernon Book Systems. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living with the Torpedo is the only World War II memoir written by a US Navy officer who fought the years-long Battle of the Atlantic against Hitler's U-boats from the decks of a destroyer escort and PC boats. More than seven decades later, George Sotos still dreams the sounds and emotions of his years living with the torpedo threat. In this captivating book, he tells you want that time was like, and how the human element formed the foundation of successful American submarine hunting during the war. More than a mere recounting of events, Living with the Torpedo brings to life the tactics, procedures, people, and feeling of small-ship action against a determined and capable adversary. Readers will marvel at the transformation, in less than five years, of a college senior who had never seen the ocean into a task-unit commander in control of three combat-tested warships -- a progression unlikely to be repeated in a modern navy.
