Britain's Anti-submarine Capability 1919-1939

"Drawing extensively on primary sources, George Franklin traces the evolution of all the various parts of Britain's anti-submarine capability, including sensors, weapons, ships, aircraft and the organisations that procured, managed and operated the material. The book also examines the development of the specialist anti-submarine and submarine-detector branches. A detailed analysis of a number of early wartime actions tests the system's effectiveness." "Britain's Anti-Submarine Capability, 1919-1939 is a study of the development of Britain's anti-submarine capability between the armistice in 1919 and the onset of the second German submarine attack on Britain's maritime trade in 1939. Well researched and yet accessibly written, this book challenges the widespread belief that the Royal Navy failed to anticipate the threat of the U-boat in the Second World War."--BOOK JACKET.
