		Submarines are useful to a military because they can approach their attack victim without necessarily being detected, then strike at close range.
		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by American David Bushnell that accommodated a single man. During the American Revolutionary War, the Turtle attempted and failed to sink a British warship, the HMS Eagle in New York harbor on September 7, 1776.
		In 2000, a Russian Oscar II-class submarine (which is the world's largest cruise-missile submarine), the Kursk, sank in the Barents Sea when a leak of hydrogen peroxide in the forward torpedo room caused a spontaneous detonation of the warhead.

		The names of Royal Navy submarine classes, including ballistic missile submarines, are letter-based; thus, all boats of the Swiftsure class begin with the letter S and the Trafalgars, the letter T. Royal Navy submarines were originally designated alphanumerically, such as HMS A1 of the A-class of 1903 (built by the pioneer designer, John P. Holland).
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.
		Where Japan had the finest submarine torpedoes of the war, the USN had perhaps the worst, the Mark 14 steam torpedo, with a Mk 6 magnetic influence exploder designed to explode under the hull of the target vessel and a Mk 5 contact exploder, neither of which was reliable.

		Until the advent of Nuclear Power, most 20th century submarines used batteries for running underwater and gasoline (petrol) or diesel engines on the surface and to recharge the batteries.
		In the 1930s the principle was modified for some submarines designs, particularly those of the US Navy and the British U-class.
		This allowed much more flexibility, for example the submarine could travel slowly on the surface whilst the engines were running at full power to recharge the batteries as quickly as possible.

		Although, it is told from the perspective of the German submarine crew, it is a great aid to visualizing the experience of 1930-40's submarine warfare conditions and technology.
		This is made doubly suspenseful by the fact that Plunger was an earlier model SSN and nearing the end of her lifespan, having been built in 1961, and her equipment was becoming increasingly balky and noisy.
		An interlude in which the submarine moves close (and in one case, too close) and photographs Soviet ships and submarines through the periscope is aptly described (the author doubled as the ship's photographer).
