Book Description
Unarmed, underwater, under fire-they went to war, and began the legend of the navy seals.Facing a fanatical, dug-in enemy in Europe and in the Pacific, U.S. planners turned to a new kind of warrior: daring swimmers who could knock out mines, map out enemy beaches, and pave the way for Allied naval assaults. With a few extraordinary and brave men, the U.S. Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams went to war.Now, a founder and legendary commander of UDT-1 takes you into the world of the underwater soldiers-the bullet-ripped surf, the mortar-pounded beaches, and the treacherous, frigid seas. This is the inside story of a unique breed of warrior-and the bloody battles they helped win.

ASIN: 0304354546 |
Book Description
The midget submarine is a most potent weapon of war. Better able than any other craft to penetrate defence measures deep into enemy waters and close in on unsuspecting targets, the midget submarine came to prominence in the Second World War, developed by the Italian, Japanese, British and German navies. This fascinating account includes the history of the midget submarine and its derivatives - small submersibles, human torpedoes - and the underwater warriors who manned them, always in constant danger, sometimes with spectacular results. The stories of daring attack, including the crippling of the German battleship Tirpitz, are matched by technical and operating details of the many craft involved. In his final chapter the author examines the current and future role of midget submarines as new weapon technologies become available.

Warrior: The First Modern Battleship (Cambridge Introduction to World History)
Walter Brownlee Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0521275792 |
Book Description
H.M.S. Warrior, ‘the black snake among rabbits’ was Britain’s first iron-clad warship. The author describes this most revolutionary warship of her time, perhaps of all time, explains why she fell into disuse and, in doing so, covers some of the wider issues relating to naval warfare during this important period of British history. The book has special appeal now as the restoration of the ship nears completion and plans are developed to move her to the maritime museum in Portsmouth.
