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.
Illustrated with monochrome images and maps.
