Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: This is just a wonderful book on the topic. Clancy and co have done a great job of taking the reader through the boats in question and really explaining the different types, parts, and jobs associated with a submarine. Clancy also does a good job in explaining what it is like to live and work on one of these boats. He also takes us through some of the training that takes place to get into the job. He also adds a good amount of detail of what the typical types of missions these boats have today, what they did in the cold war and the possible missions upcoming.I was surprised at the number of countries that also have submarines. Clancy takes us through a long inventory of all the different countries that have submarines today, what kind of boat they are and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the model. Another interesting part of the book was the description of all the countries currently making and selling submarines. I was under the impression that there were very few countries engaged in this endeavor but I was wrong, it looks like any country that builds any kind of ships is also building submarines. Overall this was an interesting, easy to read and very informative book. If you are interested in submarines then this should be your first stopping point. A good book well worth the money.
