By the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine fleets of radically different designs and capabilities.
Written in collaboration with the former Soviet submarine design bureaus, Norman Polmar and K J Moore authoritatively demonstrate in this landmark study how differing submarine missions, antisubmarine priorities, levels of technical competence, and approaches to submarine design organizations and management caused the divergence.
