This review is from: 21st Century Complete Guide to U.S. Navy Submarines: Nuclear Fast Attack and Ballistic Missile Submarine Force Today and in the Future, History, ... Bases, Support Facilities, Sub Heroes (CD-ROM)
This CD-ROM consists of Adobe Acrobat files. It is a compilation of publicly available web pages that contain information about US Navy submarines and the submarine force. As far as I can tell, you could just as easily find the same material on the web with a decent search engine. For example, the CD contains the issues of Undersea Warfare magazine, which is readily available from a Navy public website. Many of the graphics are extremely blocky and unreadable. The web pages are largely DOD server downloads of public material, and are verbatim, right down to the warnings. A surprising number of pages are just `spillovers" from the bottom of a web page, and contain no information. Clearly, almost no editing of the material was attempted when transferring to the disc. If you use the disc while online, you can click on the hyperlinks and they will take you to more information. Not worth the money.
