Cold War Submarines The Design and Construction of U.S. and Soviet Submarines
Year: 2004 Language: english Author: Norman Polmar, Kenneth J. Moore Genre: History Publisher: Potomac Books ISBN: 9781574885941 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 432 Description: Submarines played a vital role in the 45 years of the Cold War 1946–1991. U.S. and Soviet submarines carried out intelligence collection operations and prepared operations to destroy opposing surface ships and submarines. From the early 1960s they also threatened nuclear attacks on their opponent’s homeland. The technological competition had ups and downs, and the two Navies had moments of technological supremacy and moments in which they tried to reach the level of development of the opponent. Soviet and U.S. submarines of the Cold War share the same origins in German U-boat of 1943–1945 years, especially the Type XXI. But they rapidly diverged in their designs due to different tasks and roles assigned by their respective fleets. By the end of the Cold War, U.S. and Soviet submarines were radically different in design and capabilities, mainly because of different naval missions, priorities, levels of industrial advance, and approaches to design organizations and management. This book Analyzes the development of U.S. and Soviet submarines during the Cold War, using rare materials obtained from the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, and includes numerous photographs and drawings, many never before published, data, tables and documents, not only related to submarine, but also to weapons, missiles, crews
