This new book shows how until 1944 U - boats operated as submersible torpedo craft which relied heavily on the surface for movement and charging their batteries. This pattern was repeated in WWII until Allied anti - submarine countermeasures had forced the Germans to modify their existing U - boats with the schnorkel. Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high - speed U - boats capable of continuously submerged operations. This study shows how these improved submarines became benchmark of the post - war Russian submarine challenge. Royal Navy doctrine was developed by professional anti - submarine officers and based on the well - tried combination of defensive and offensive anti - submarine measures that had stood the press of time since 1917, notwithstanding considerable technological change. This consistent and holistic view of anti - submarine warfare has not been understood by most of the subsequent historians of these anti - submarine campaigns and this book provides an essential and new insight into how Cold War and indeed modern anti - submarine warfare is conducted.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Royal Navy And Anti - Submarine Warfare 1917 - 49\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Llewellyn - Jones Malcolm\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780415385329\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 12\/8\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Cass Series: Naval Policy and History\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Warfare \u0026amp; Defence","brand":"Llewellyn - Jones Malcolm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49595290517809,"sku":"IN-G-9780415385329","price":193.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780415385329.jpg?v=1754880083","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780415385329-the-royal-navy-and-anti-submarine-warfare-1917-49","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
