There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Of course it's not just the Cheyenne that blasts through the Chinese fleet with near total impunity but the Independence Carrier Battle Group as well.
All in all definitely recommended.
Three stars and really closer to two is that this book is far too simplistic. While some of his are overly complex this book is the polar opposite. Within the space of ten pages the sub goes out and sinks 3,4,5 ships. Returns to resupply and repeats this phenomenal success....again and again. I'll admit I am only about 2/3rds in but I would not be surprised if this apex predator does not sink 50 ships by the end. For readers of Clancy, not the franchise because I don't even consider them Clancy, you will not be disappointed in his use of military abbreviations. Sometimes 6-10 per page!
Such is the fate of authors that have spoiled us with their early works.

私は原潜解剖と何が違うのかわからずに購入しました。
原子力潜水艦の歴史、装備等は原潜解剖の方を読んだ方が良いです。
しかし、ストーリー仕立てですが、潜水艦の戦術については興味深い記述があると思います。
It is well done - showing the technical capabilities of submarine system at the end of 20th century - comparing to "Silent Hunter" - a leap from WWII to the edge of the next century. This book explains basics for submarine "dummies" in an eloquent way. Anybody seeking for "Hunt Red MAO" has to realize - this is the wrong "movie".
Apart from minor "blurrings" and few expenable passages written just for proud US-Citizens, the book presents a multitude of additional information (interview, glossary, bibliography) for submarine fans.
