Description
Submarine Operational Effectiveness in the 20th Century Part Two (1939 - 1945) by Captain John F O'Connell Usn (Ret) and John F. O'Connell The submarine's role in warfare evolved significantly during the 20th century, from its emergence as a serious system during the First World War to its strategic use during World War Two. This book, the second part of a series, focuses on the effectiveness of submarines during the Second World War, highlighting two key campaigns: the German U-boat campaign against British and neutral commerce, and the American submarine campaign against Japanese shipping from Southeast Asia. The German U-boat campaign, which began in 1939, was a major threat to Britain's economy, but ultimately failed during the Battle of The Atlantic in 1943. In contrast, the American submarine campaign, which began in 1944, successfully isolated Japan from its sources of raw materials and foodstuffs, contributing to the country's eventual defeat. This book provides a detailed analysis of the submarine's operational effectiveness during World War Two, shedding light on the strategies and tactics employed by both the Axis and Allied powers.
