Warfare Under The Waves: How Submarines Changed The First World War
Year: 2021 Language: English Author: Terrell Hierholcer Genre: History ISBN: 979-8517710598 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 203 Description: Submarines were very different from any other kind of warship. For many, this was part of the attraction. Even without the demands of war, the submarine’s mettle was being tested the moment he set foot aboard. The technical complexity of the submarine was irresistible for some while for others it was the attraction of the close-knit small ship family. Extra pay seems to have played only a minor part in the submarine sailor’s considerations. As a weapon of war, the World War One submarines were well suited to their task. Since reading Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea as a young man, it has been the author's desire to understand the living conditions aboard the very first submarines. In his research, he has found very few personal tales to tell him of those conditions until the time just before the First World War. During that war and just afterward many stories started to emerge from both sides of the Atlantic. Now, after 100 years, it’s possible to collect and sort those narratives, photographs, tales, and biographies of those who served aboard the “underwater boats” and what those conditions were in those first few years. The First Submarines, after 1900, also includes the first torpedoes available for those submarines. Since assembling these accounts, I’ve come to appreciate the conditions under which these first sub-mariners worked, lived, and died for their country. They ventured below the surface of the waves into a world, not at all like described in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.
