Description

The Silent Deep: The Royal Navy Submarine Service Since 1945 This comprehensive history of the Royal Navy Submarine Service offers an unprecedented insight into the development of Britain's submarine fleet, from the end of World War II to the present day. With unprecedented cooperation from the Service itself, the authors have gained privileged access to documents and personnel, providing the most complete account yet published of the Submarine Service's capabilities, operations, and daily life on board. The book reveals dramatic episodes, including the gathering of intelligence against the Soviet Navy's latest ballistic-missile-carrying submarine in the late 1960s, and the longest-ever trail of a Soviet submarine in 1978. It also provides a first-hand account of the Submarine Service's activities during the Falklands War, as well as the impact of Cold War spy scandals on UK and NATO submarine technology.
