101: Brassey's, 1994. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Text in English. 289 pp. Minor wear to the covers. Light rubbing.
Rear Admiral John Hervey had no less than 13 years sea going experience in the Submarine Branch of the Royal Navy, commanding four boats, including a nuclear-powered hunter killer, and a Submarine Squadron. SUBMARINES not only gives the reader an authoritative description of state-of-the-art submarine sonar, electronic warfare, weaponry, communications, navigation and signature reduction but also goes into considerable detail on the problems of submarine handling, command and tactics - both NATO and Russian.
Over 200 illustrations, including more than 100 explanatory diagrams, make this a book that is very easily understood, despite the depth of the technology described. Drawing upon his great experience in the Royal Navy and as a submarine consultant to defence industries, Admiral Hervey ends this unique work with a most perceptive view of the way ahead in submarine warfare. Very Good. Item #4025
