5.0 out of 5 stars Good, basic submarine book., May 16, 2000
By Chuck Fralick (Diamondhead, MS United States) - See all my reviews
If you're looking for a thorough design history, try Norman Friedman's book. If you want nice photos and drawings of all the major boats from before WW I to present this is your book. It's easy to read, has enough detail for all but the techno-geeks like me and is reasonably priced. There are a few missed details and errors, but by-and-large it's great. Nice effort.
