About

From the 1931 expeditions of Sir Hubert Wilkins and the submarine Nautilus to the era of nuclear power boats, a former member of the U.S. Navy's submarine service describes a number of the expeditions under the arctic ice shelf and the scientific and engineering achievements that made them possible. History of early US polar submarine operations with the trouble-plagued, pioneering 1931 voyage of Sir Hubert Wilkins' U.S. Navy surplus Nautilus and the famous nuclear-powered Nautilus, her famous first voyage to the North Pole, and the almost equally well known surfacing at that pole of the USS Skate. He also covers less famous voyages and the first under-ice maneuvers by Sargo and Seadragon.

Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
