Submarines Today
U.S. need for naval power will not diminish - the U.S. Navy, powerful as it is now, faces big decisions and spending hurtles in the next decade if it is to maintain the ability to meet the threats that may face America in the coming years, say defense experts.
Is the U.S. Navy being marginalized? - all who have gone down to the sea appreciate the various roles that seapower plays in our nation's defense. Going back to Alfred Thayer Mahan's day, that role was sea control - the ability to use the oceans to one's advantage and to deny the use of them to opponents.

SUBMARINES FOR SALE

Ships for Sale - you missed your chance on this one, Bunky. It was a Soviet "Whiskey Class", decommissioned in 1991. And the asking price was a mere $497,000 US! A bargain at three times that if you can afford the routine expenses and PMs. Wonder how one goes about acquiring 533 mm torpedoes.....

SUBMARINE WAR: AXIS FORCES AGAINST AMERICA

National Geographic: Remembering Pearl Harbor - the National Geographic Society; history, maps.
Type A, B & C Midget Submarines - a U.S. Navy Historical Center photo page; Views taken in 1942-44; From 1934 to 1944, the Japanese Navy built several dozen midget submarines for combat use.
Type A, B & C Midget Submarines - a U.S. Navy Historical Center photo page; Japanese Type A Midget Submarines used in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Japanese Type D "Koryu" Midget Submarines - in a drydock at Kure Naval Base, Japan, 19 October 1945. There are at least four different types of midget submarines in this group of about eighty-four boats, though the great majority are of the standard "Koryu" type.

Nihon Kaigun - Imperial Japanese Navy Page. At the beginning of the Second World War, the Japanese Navy (or, in the Japanese language, Nihon Kaigun, or even Teikoku Kaigun, the Imperial Navy) was arguably the most powerful navy in the world. Its naval aviation corps, consisting of 10 aircraft carriers and 1500 topnotch aviators, was the most highly trained and proficient force of its kind. Its 11 (soon to be 12) battleships were among the most powerful in the world. And its surface forces, armed with the superb 24" Type 93 (Long Lance) torpedo, were incomparable night fighters. How and why this impressive force was eventually crushed by the U.S. Navy is a subject that has fascinated me practically forever. Maybe I'm just intrigued by the underdog. In any case, this page is devoted to the proud navy that lost the Pacific War.
The U-boat War 1939-1945 - UBoat.net is an apolitical site. Our focus was primarily the U-boat War 1939-1945 but has since expanded to WWI and allied naval vessels of WWII.

War Stories By The Men Who Were There - definitely lacking in organization; you'll find more links under the "Tokyo Bay on Surrender Day" photo.
