Naval Forces Under the Sea: The Rest of the Story

Another fascinating book resulting from one of the most historical and interesting symposiums ever presented at the US Naval Academy, Naval Forces Under the Sea; sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The objective of the symposium was to address and highlight the US Navy's significant contributions to diving and submarine rescue through lectures, panel discussions and oral history recordings...this book is the second produced from that symposium. The first book was Naval Forces Under the Sea: A Look Back, A Look Ahead. It is the intent of this book to record the portions of the US Navy's undersea story that were left untold, and to give details of the whole story to include how man, through the US Navy, challenged the oceans' depths - how they sometimes lost and how they sometimes won. The US Navy has incorporated as many key figures as possible and assures readers their mission is to thoroughly convey the 'rest of the story' of US Naval undersea history.
