Naval warfare in the Pacific changed completely with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The strategic emphasis shifted from battleships to much more lethal; far-ranging weapons systems; one of these was the submarine. This book details the design and development; classes; weapons and equipment; tactics and operational history of the US submarine in World War II. Detailed tables; photographs; and superb color plates depict the force that had an effect far beyond its size - the submarine accounted for 55% of all Japanese shipping losses; despite suffering the highest percentage loss of any unit of the United State Armed Forces in World War II.
