Discover the submarines that shaped history, from the eighteenth century to the present day.

Fifty-two submarines are examined here in detail, including the semi-submersible Turtle of 1775, the French submarine cruiser Surcouf of 1929 fitted with two 203 mm guns, the formidable German U-Boot Type VII that decimated Allied convoys during the Second World War, as well as the latest-generation submarines packed with technology — the USS Virginia and the Russian Yasen-class.

Each submarine is meticulously described; the history of its development is complemented by a cutaway drawing highlighting its key characteristics.
