This book introduces readers to the underwater world of submarines, showing them how these amazing watercraft have used stealthy secret attacks throughout history to revolutionize ocean warfare. Vibrant images and detailed diagrams of submarines from the U.S., Britain, Russia, and Germany are featured, from U-boats of the early 20th century to today’s fastest and most powerful nuclear submarines. Readers will see firsthand how developments in technology have allowed submarines to patrol at greater and greater depths undetected.

In this engaging volume, readers discover the amazing world of battleships, the biggest and most powerful military ships around. Detailed diagrams and vibrant images give a bird’s-eye view of all the parts and complex weaponry used on battleships, from early battleships that ran on steam up through aircraft carrier ships like the USS Nimitz and HMS Invincible. Readers learn how some of today’s aircraft carriers run on nuclear power, and how battleships throughout history have relied on heavy, high-tech weaponry to control the open seas.
