Originally designed in 1934 as a small simple submarine for anti-submarine training, the 'U' Class submarine's career turned out to be far more dramatic and valuable than that. On the onset of the War it was first adapted for patrolling home waters but, by the close of hostilities six years later, boats of the Class had served world-wide with seven different navies. Its contribution was never more successful than in the dangerous waters of the Mediterranean, where their operations were a major factor in the defeat of Rommel's Afrika Corps.This is the first book to examine thoroughly and celebrate the service of this fine class of submarine. Readers will find it a fascinating and gripping tale of courage often under appalling conditions as well as a comprehensive and authoritative record.
