I heard the order shouted out, "Dive, Dive, Dive!" My job was now to press the klaxon button. I reached up to press it, BUT, BUT, BUT the button wasn't there. WHERE IS IT? The crew were waiting for the klaxon to sound before they executed their diving procedures, such as opening vents to let air out and water in, giving negative buoyancy.
The authoritative story of the Royal Navy's first submarine campaign, told using new research. The Harwich Submarine Flotilla played a key role establishing British dominance in the North Sea at the beginning of the First World War. Letters, diaries, memoirs and combat reports of the participants are used to give a complete account.
Much of this is in print for the first time. Foreword by Rear Admiral Jonathan Westbrook CBE, former Royal Navy Submariner. Written in collaboration with the Friends of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, with profits from royalties contributing towards the work of the Museum.
