This lavishly illustrated encyclopedia begins with the primitive boats of the 18th and 19th centuries, covers the submarines of both World Wars and goes on to the nuclear submarines of today. Naval artist Tony Gibbons has provided illustrations for many of the major "landmarks" for designs from 1776 through to 2003.
This beautifully illustrated title traces the dangerous evolution of the submarine in warfare from its inception to the present day and immediate future. Technical specifications, development and construction history and involvement in combat are included on more than 125 classes of boat, with special features on submarine accidents and on some of the more unusual classes such as gun commerce raiders and aircraft-carrying submarines.
"An examination of the origin, history, development, and impact of the submarine and related underwater exploration and transport technology"--Provided by publisher.
With the end of the Cold War, Russia's submarines were no longer needed to deter or fight Western navies and were very expensive to operate and maintain. Older submarines were taken out of service in large numbers, but without firm plans and infrastructure in place to remove and adequately care for their nuclear components, problems soon developed over the disposition of spent fuel assemblies. Problems arose also of course between Russia and the international community as to the best way to respond to the challenge. This book looks at those problems, first discussing Russia's economy, its environment, and the Russian Navy, and then covering in detail the spent fuel of Russian submarines and related nuclear problems. The engagement of the international community on the issue is then addressed. A theoretical analysis is offered on how Russia's fellow nations can help remedy a troubling environmental problem in a difficult country.
