The Deadly Losharik Submarine Fire

Read

Losharik was a threat of another order altogether. The vessel is able to dive far deeper than almost any other sub, but the feats of engineering that allow it to do so may have helped seal the fate of the 14 sailors killed in the disaster. The only thing more mysterious than what exactly went wrong that day is what the sub was doing in a thousand feet of water just 60 nautical miles east of Norway in the first place.

The Submarine Pioneers

Richard Compton-Hall

Richard Compton-Hall has combined research with his own experience as a submariner to provide an insight into the inventions and motivations of the early submarine pioneers. This study explodes a number of popular myths, such as the claim that David Bushnell's one-man Turtle chased the British fleet out of New York Harbour in 1776. The truth about underwater exploration, however, is stranger than the fiction - not least because of its secrets and brotherhoods, duplicity and deception, determination and despair, frequent failure and rare triumph.
