Download or read book Periscope Patrol written by John Frayn Turner and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Malta Force submarines had the vital task of interrupting German and Italian convoys crossing the Mediterranean to resupply Rommel and his Army in North Africa. The outcome of the Desert War depended on this.Operations from the beleaguered island were hazardous both at sea and in port. The Naval Base was under constant air attack. Due to the courage and tenacity of the crews by the time the Malta-based submarines were at full strength a staggering 50% of Axis shipping bound for Africa failed to arrive at its destination. The submarines sank some 75 enemy vessels totalling 400,000 tons.Periscope Patrol picks out the highlights of their actions and sets them against the bombed-out background of Malta, the island awarded the George Cross for its single handed stand. This is a hugely readable and informative account of submarine warfare at its toughest and roughest.

Book Synopsis The Fighting Tenth by : John Wingate
Download or read book The Fighting Tenth written by John Wingate and published by Sapere Books. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic account of 'the most concentrated submarine battle in history'. Ideal for fans of Max Hastings' Operation Pedestal and Jonathan Dimbleby's The Battle of the Atlantic. Between 1940 and 1944 the Tenth Submarine Flotilla fought a vicious campaign against German and Italian shipping that were supplying Rommel's forces in North Africa. From the small, beleaguered island of Malta, constantly under siege from Axis naval and air forces, the thirty-four submarines that served in the flotilla managed to sink over a million tons of Axis shipping, assisting to turn the tide of the war in the Mediterranean. John Wingate served as first lieutenant in the Tenth Flotilla's submarine United during this period and records in fascinating detail the deeds of this unique underwater strike force. Surviving Commanding Officers, sailors, as well as British and Maltese civilians, all contributed to Wingate's book to give brilliant insight into how this conflict developed and what it was like to fight within it. 'an authoritative work and a firsthand account of most aspects of this tale.' Naval War College Review 'an acclaimed source amongst today's submarining fraternity' The Times 'a history of remarkable achievements attained by sheer hard work, dedicated attention to duty, remarkable personal bravery and high standards of professionalism - unfortunately at a tragic cost in human life.' Admiral of the Fleet, The Lord Fieldhouse The Fighting Tenth: The Tenth Submarine Flotilla and the Siege of Malta is a tense and gripping story that uncovers the exploits of this often overlooked but vitally important naval conflict from World War Two.
Download or read book Patrol Area 14 written by Dave Lotz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the war in the Pacific progressed, the role of the US submarines evolved to meet the challenges confronting the United States Navy in the Western Pacific. This story is vividly portrayed in Patrol Area 14 and details the exploits of the US submarines in one specific patrol area of the Pacific Ocean, the waters of the Mariana Islands, whose control became essential to victory in the Pacific for the United States and defeat for Japan. Patrol Area 14 describes the submarine patrols from solitary patrols beginning in 1942 to aggressively patrolling the offshore waters, to bold approaches to harbor entrances, to sinking ships within sight of the islands in spite of determined Japanese air and sea anti-submarine efforts and supporting the US invasions of the islands in 1944.

Download or read book Unbroken written by Alastair Mars and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the bleak, heartbreaking days of early 1942, when beleaguered Malta was reeling under bombardment and blockade and Rommel was making his last desperate thrust towards Egypt, only one British submarine was operating in the western Mediterranean - the tiny, 600-ton Unbroken. In twelve months in the Med, Unbroken sank over 30,000 tons of enemy shipping, took part in four secret operations, three successful gun actions, and survived a total of over 400 depth charges, as well as innumerable air and surface attacks. This account of the 26-year-old Alastair Mars' command of this outstandingly successful submarine embraces her construction, sea trials and voyage to Gibraltar preparatory to her vital role in the Mediterranean. Once there, she was responsible for the destruction of two Italian cruisers and played a pivotal part in Operation Pedestal, the convoy that saved Malta from surrender. Alastair Mars writes simply and without pretension, and his words evoke the claustrophobic yet heroic world of the submariner.
Book Synopsis British Submarine vs Italian Torpedo Boat by : David Greentree
Download or read book British Submarine vs Italian Torpedo Boat written by David Greentree and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the war in North Africa escalated, Axis war efforts became increasingly dependent on supply lines across the Mediterranean. To try to cut off these lines of supply the British deployed submarines from the besieged island of Malta with the directive to sink as much merchant convoy tonnage as possible. Italy responded by sending her Torpedo boats to protect and escort Axis convoys. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and carefully chosen archive photographs, this engaging study assesses the evolving battle between Britain's submarines and Italy's torpedo boats in the struggle for primacy in the Mediterranean at the height of World War II.
Download or read book The Silent Service written by John Parker and published by Headline. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great untold stories of the British services is that of the Royal Navy Submarine Service which entered the fray in World War I with 100 underwater craft. Through World War II, where submariners' prospects of returning safely from a mission were only 50:50, the Falklands conflict and the sinking of the Belgrano, to present-day elite machines, the Silent Service has played an enormous part in British defence. John Parker's in-depth investigation is very much personality led with diaries from the early part of the century to substantial first-person testimony from survivors of wartime heroics (when many VCs were won).
