2001 marked the centenary of the Royal Navy's submarine fleet, the Silent Service, from its first operational submersible "Holland 1" in 1901 to the giant nuclear vessels of modern times. In his in depth investigation into the history and exploits of the Silent Service, John Parker draws heavily on the personal testimony of men involved in outstanding episodes, and tragedies, in that century, with fresh insight into classic wartime stories.
