The First Submarines : The Beginnings of Underwater Warfare / Richard Compton-Hall

United Kingdom : Periscope Publishing Ltd., 2003

Pbk, 192 pages

In the winter of 1982 an odd cigar shaped vessel was raised from the English Channel after seventy years on the seabed. This tiny boat was Holland 1, the Royal Navy's first submarine. Her sisters provided the navies of the United States, Russia, Japan and many smaller countries with their first practical underwater warships. Now restored and displayed at the Submarine Museum, Gosport, Holland 1 is a fine example of the first submarines to be operated by modern navies.
