    If you are interested in submarine development in the US, Buy This Book! I have read and reread the book as a research tool and it has helped me to understand the complexities of naval undersea warfare develpment. I am currently working on a project about the S boats and this volume has really made my work easier. Great research, great information, great writing.

    This book is excellent. It covers not only the physical descriptions of US subs, but the engineering, political, and other factors that contributed to the various design features.

    Expect to spend a lot of time referring back and forth between chapters in order to gain a complete understanding of not only what these boats were like, but why they were built the way they were.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Buch könnte interessant sein - aber um welches geht es hier?

    Bei Amazon haben zuletzt mehrere Händler statt "U.S. Submarines Since 1945" (über die nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gebauten Boote) "U.S. Submarines Through 1945" verkauft - wie hier auch durch das falsche Titelbild angedeutet. Ich empfehle besondere Vorsicht - und da ich drei Mal das falsche Buch bekommen habe, kann ich auch über das richtige sonst nichts sagen.

    If you're not interested in naval vessels of the U. S. Navy, this would be a terrible book. If you are interested in U. S. naval vessels, it's indispensable. I have several of the authors illustrated design histories already (battleships, aircraft carrriers, destroyers, and the post-1945 submarine volume, and they are all great.

    Book arrived in excellent shape. The book covers submarines that were first introduce to the US Navy up to 1945. Covers all aspects of the submarine. Would have liked more pictures of WWII subs.
