This pattern was repeated in WWII until Allied anti-submarine countermeasures had forced the Germans to modify their existing U-boats with the schnorkel. Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high-speed U-boats capable of continuously submerged operations.This study shows how these improved submarines became benchmark of the post-war Russian submarine challenge. Royal Navy doctrine was developed by professional anti-submarine officers, and based on the well-tried combination of defensive and offensive anti-submarine measures that had stood the press of time since 1917, notwithstanding considerable technological change.This consistent and holistic view of anti-submarine warfare has not been understood by most of the subsequent historians of these anti-submarine campaigns, and this book provides an essential and new insight into how Cold War, and indeed modern, anti-submarine warfare is conducted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931354038560,"sku":"NEW0415385326","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-royal-navy-and-anti-submarine-warfare-1917-49-cass-series-naval-policy-and-history-0415385326","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
