Silently cruising the deepest ocean waters, today's submarines are capable of submerged operation for months at a time and pack almost unimaginable firepower. From very first submersible - a wood and leather contraption built for English navy in 1620 - to today's nuclear-powered technological marvels, the dramatic history of the submarine is recounted here by the U. S. Naval historian T. L. Francis and ilustrated with detailed diagrams and magnificent photographs of these mighty leviathans.
