Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Facts About the Submarine Service
The Submarine Service is distinctly American both in tra dition and in spirit.
History records that the genius of American science created the modern submarine. It is as American as the telegraph, the airplane, the dive bomber and the carrier.
Although submersible craft had been in development for thousands of years, four Americans, David Bushnell, Robert Fulton, John Philip Holland and Simon Lake, comprised the coterie of inventors who transformed ancient dreams into an effective and practical underseas craft.
