Submarine Warfare: Past And Present is a historical account of the development and use of submarines in naval warfare. Written by Herbert Cleyland Fyfe, a British naval officer and submarine expert, the book was first published in 1907, during a time when submarines were still a relatively new technology.The book begins with a brief history of submarine development, from early experiments in the 17th century to the first successful submarine attacks in the American Civil War. Fyfe then goes on to describe the various types of submarines in use at the time, including their propulsion systems, armaments, and defensive measures.The bulk of the book is devoted to a detailed examination of submarine tactics and strategy, including the use of submarines in blockade running, commerce raiding, and fleet actions. Fyfe also discusses the challenges of operating submarines, such as navigating in shallow waters and dealing with the psychological stresses of prolonged underwater missions.Throughout the book, Fyfe draws on his own experiences as a naval officer and submarine commander, providing firsthand accounts of submarine operations and insights into the challenges and rewards of this dangerous and exciting form of warfare.Overall, Submarine Warfare: Past And Present is an informative and engaging account of the early days of submarine warfare, written by a knowledgeable and experienced expert in the field. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in naval history or the development of military technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
