The submarine, first introduced to America’s fleet in 1900, is today a 300-foot-long, 30-foot-wide vessel filled with some of the world’s most sophisticated technology and courageous, skilled, all-volunteer personnel. In each submarine, over 100 crew members work together for months at a time to protect U.S. interests around the world. Written by an outstanding team, United States Submarines contains essays on submarine history and today’s submariners, focusing not only on the subs, torpedoes, and related technologies but especially on the people who make it all work. Full-color and vintage photography, portraits, recruiting posters, and historically inspired paintings complement the riveting text.

Great Submarine Book.

ByHunting Bearon July 24, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

An excellent book for all who want to know more about the history of submarines. Great addition to the library for those who are interested in submarines, those who have been aboard a submarine, and all fellow "Brothers of the Phin". It may lack the details that anyone who is qualified knows but it has a lot of information about the boats that were built upon Holland's vision & designs and all that came later.

A Proud History

ByThom Ton April 26, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As a member of a submarine veterans group, I can attest to the accuracy of this book. When it was first presented at one of our monthly meetings, it became an instant hit. Every member was wanting a copy. Several were located at various locations and were offered for raffle as fund raisers.
I cannot believe that there is a submariner out there that would not recommend this book or jump at the chance to own one.
The book itself is finely bound with cushioned hard covers and embellished with a seal on the front, as illustrated. The photgraphs are outstanding, and the narratives are well written.
If you are, or were, a "bubblehead", then this is a must have book. The same goes for those of you who are just interested in the history of our submarine service. "Pride Runs Deep", indeed.

A great reference. The one sub book to buy.

ByNavyveton June 21, 2003

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I spent 6 years on a ballistic missile submarine and I have a great interest in the history and current developments of the Silent Service. If you are a veteran submariner, you will like the way the book is put together. It has great photos and it is truly a beautifully made book that you can pass along to a son or grandson to share the pride us "bubbleheads" all share.
If you aren't a submariner but you aspire to be one or if you simply want to learn about the world of subs, then this is also the book for you. It is a huge volume that will occupy hours of your time. I would recommend this book over any of the lesser, albeit cheaper, more poorly made books on the subject.
If you find the price a little steep, you may also want to consider "Silent Chase: Submarines of the U.S. Navy". It is smaller but still a well made book. (ISBN 0-934738-38-6)
