Almost 90 years later, the CSS Hunley successfully attacked the Federal sloop USS Housatonic by ramming into it with a 59-kilogram (130-pound) spar torpedo. The Housatonic became the first ship in naval history to be sunk by a submarine, and so submarine warfare was born. The World's Greatest Submarines features 52 of the most significant submarines built. Each entry includes a brief description of the submarine's development and history, a color profile view or cutaway, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, The World's Greatest Submarines is a colorful guide for the military and naval history enthusiasts." | ||
