xxiii, 407 hal, ilus, bibliography, index, 30 cm Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened missile attacks on their adversary’s homeland, providing in many respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and capabilities. Written in collaboration with the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K. J. Moore authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and management caused the divergence. 359.91574885308 UPA PERPUSTAKAAN POLITEKNIK PERKAPALAN NEGERI SURABAYA Politeknik Perkapalan Negeri Surabaya 359.9 Pol c 31001200909642 My Library (K1/6) 359.9 Pol c 31001200909641 My Library (K1/7) 359.9 Pol c 31001200909643 My Library (K1/8) 359.9 Pol c 31001200909644 My Library (K1/9) 359.9 Pol c 310012009010032 My Library (Lemari 1/19) 359.9 Pol c 3587 2018-04-03 13:12:00 2022-07-25 08:15:36 machine generated
