Admiral Galantin tells the story of the amazing evolution of the submarine, from the civil war era to today's nuclear boats. From 1920, his first year at Annapolis, until 1970 when he retired, the US Navy evolved from a floating bureaucracy, to a force capable of projecting US power on the high seas. The story of Galantin’s forty one year, adventure filled career is told in a readable and exciting style. He recounts the birth of Admiral Rickover's nuclear navy with the sub-polar voyage of USS Nautilus, the tragic loss of the Thresher, and the advent of the huge Ballistic Missile submarines of the Los Angeles Class.

Forgetting the setbacks of the American Revolutionary War in 1793, the Royal Navy embarked on an almost unprecedented succession of victories at sea. Despite numerous defeats the French navy continued to dispute command of the sea in the period 1793-1797, and the early years of the war abounded with fleet engagements. Including victories against the Spanish at St Vincent and the Dutch at Camperdown, this impressive volume makes use of contemporary personal journals and sketchbooks by serving officers and ratings.

New from publisher, unread. Trafalgar, the most famous and most strategically significant victory in the age of sail, was not as an isolated event. Rather it was the culmination of a French campaign beginning in May 1803 that was ultimately aimed at the invasion of Great Britain. It reveals that however great a genius Napoleon was on land, he never really grasped the principles of British maritime defence. This volume charts the naval events of the period, including the attacks on the French invasion flotillas, Nelson's pursuit of Villeneuve's fleet across the Atlantic and and the climactic battle of Trafalgar, when the Admiral died at the moment of his greatest victory.
