Year: 1986 Language: English Author: Marriott J. Genre: History Publisher: London: Allan Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 130 Description: Although submarines rely on stealth and concealment they have generated a remarkable amount of publicity. For example, the British nuclear deterrent, the Trident submarine, has been and still is giving rise to considerable debate in the UK, because of its extremely high cost. Four years ago the power and stealth of the nuclear attack submarine was demonstrated by the sinking of the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano by HMS Conqueror which, before it attacked, was able to track its prey for many hours without being discovered. The celebrated “Whiskey on the Rocks’ incident, and several other violations of Swedish territorial waters by Soviet submarines, showed how useful these craft can be in clandestine operations.
