Submarine Escape and Rescue

Read how men trapped in stricken submarines managed to escape from certain death. Imagine the terror of rising water in compartments never designed to protect crew members from torn hulls and ruptured fittings. Only those who took sure and immediate action had a chance to survive in conditions that killed most of a crew. Learn the terrible and heartbreaking efforts of rescuers who tried to save lives when help came too late. From the first escape in 1851 through the most recent rescue in 2005 read of courage in peace and war when a few lucky men made it out of their disabled submarines.

Submarine Escape and Rescue is an historical anthology of over fifty submarine escapes and rescues from 1851 to 2005 together with pictures and diagrams. Soft bound, it is $19.95 and may be purchased directly from SRC, from Amazon.com or from most submarine museums.
