From the first dangerous underwater attacks of the nineteenth century to the sophisticated submarine hunts of the modern era, submarine warfare transformed naval combat by bringing stealth, surprise, and deadly uncertainty beneath the surface of the sea.

Submarine Battles and Undersea Warfare follows the evolution of submarine combat through carefully selected battles, torpedo attacks, convoy actions, hunts, escapes, and survival stories that changed the history of naval warfare.

In this book you will find:

  • The attack of H. L. Hunley on USS Housatonic and the beginnings of submarine battle
  • German U Boats in World War I and the growing threat of commerce raiding
  • The destruction of British cruisers by U 9 and the shock created by early submarine warfare
  • The sinking of Lusitania and the expansion of the war against merchant shipping
  • Convoy warfare and the development of escorts and depth charges
  • U 47 and the attack on HMS Royal Oak at Scapa Flow
  • Wolfpack attacks against Atlantic convoys during World War II
  • U 81 and the sinking of HMS Ark Royal in the Mediterranean
  • The development of sonar, ASDIC, radar, aircraft patrols, and anti submarine warfare
  • Convoy ONS 5 and the changing balance in the Battle of the Atlantic
  • The dramatic capture of German submarine U 505
  • American World War II submarines and the torpedo problems that threatened their effectiveness
  • USS Wahoo and USS Harder in dangerous engagements against Japanese destroyers
  • USS Tang and the devastating circular torpedo that struck its own submarine
  • The experience of crews trapped beneath depth charge attacks
  • USS Sculpin and USS Salmon in battles of damage control and survival
  • Rare submarine against submarine encounters, including HMS Venturer and U 864
