Few of us stop to think, as Tom Clancy has
reminded us in his dramatic fiction, that if
there is another world war, its decisive
battles will be fought under the sea.
The modern nuclear-powered, nuclear¬
armed submarine is not only one of the
most powerful instruments of war ever
built, it is also one of the most elusive and
unpredictable elements in the equations of
the war planners. At any moment, several
hundred submarines of various nationali¬
ties cruise the world's oceans, constantly
on patrol and hidden from view, armed
with an array of devastating weapons.
How will these battles be fought? Will
western technology be equal to the Soviet
threat? These are the questions Richard
Compton-Hall seeks to answer. With su¬
perb diagrammatic paintings, tactical
plots, and color illustrations, Sub vs. Sub
shows first how submarines work by ex¬
plaining their propulsion and weapons sys¬
tems, living quarters, and equipment; it
then analyzes the strategy and tactics of
both NATO and Warsaw Pact forces. Hy¬
pothetical battle scenarios are explored,
showing likely confrontations between
different classes of submarines in differ¬
ent underwater "battlefields" around
the world.
This informed and comprehensive pic¬
ture of future undersea warfare is certain
to be controversial and thought-provoking.
