Spy Ships
Almost from the first days of seafaring, men have used ships for
\"spying\" and intelligence collection. Since early in the twentieth
century, with the technological advancements of radio and radar,
the U.S. Navy and other government agencies and many other navies
have used increasingly specialized ships and submarines to ferret
out the secrets of other nations. The United States and the Soviet
Union/Russia have been the leaders in those efforts, especially
during the forty-five years of the Cold War. But, as Norman Polmar
and Lee J. Mathers reveal, so has China, which has become a major
maritime power in the twenty-first century, with special interests
in the South China Sea and with increasing hostility toward the
United States. Through extensive, meticulous research and through
the lens of such notorious spy ship events as the Israeli attack on
the USS Liberty , the North Korean capture of the USS
Pueblo , and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's success
in clandestinely salvaging part of a Soviet submarine with the
Hughes Glomar Explorer , Spy Ships is a
fascinating and valuable resource for understanding maritime
intelligence collection and what we have learned from it.

Sub Culture
A deep dive into the significance of submarines, across everything from warfare and politics to literature and film. Sub Culture explores the crucial role of the submarine in modern history, its contribution to scientific progress and maritime exploration, and how it has been portrayed in art, literature, fantasy, and film. Ranging from the American Civil War to the destruction of the Russian submarine Kursk in 2000, the book examines the submarine's activities in the First and Second World Wars, the Cold War, and in covert operations and marine exploration to the present day. Citing the submarine, particularly the nuclear submarine, as both ultimate deterrent and doomsday weapon, Sub Culture examines how its portrayal in popular culture has reinforced, and occasionally undermined, the military and political agendas of the nation-states that deploy it.

Book
\Execute against Japan\
. . . until now how the Navy managed to instantaneously move from the overt legal restrictions of the naval arms treaties that bound submarines to the cruiser rules of the eighteenth century to a declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare against Japan immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor has never been explained. Lieutenant Holwitt has dissected this process and has created a compelling story of who did what, when, and to whom.”—The Submarine Review.
