    COVERT SHORES: The Story of Naval Special Forces Missions and Minisubs

    Warning: This is my own book.

    COVERT SHORES: The Story of Naval Special Forces Missions and Minisubs



    AMAZON: http://www.amazon.com/Covert-Shores-...dp/1502769492/

    COVERT SHORES is a non-fiction book giving the world history of naval Special Forces, their missions and their specialist vehicles. Units covered include the US Navy’s SEALs, Britain’s Special Boat Service (SBS) and many more.

    Until now, the underwater craft employed by the World’s Special Forces have been known only to a select few. Covert Shores is the first complete and documented insight into the little-known world of the mini-subs, Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs) and other underwater vehicles used by the U. S. Navy SEALs, Special Boat Service, Spetsnaz and more.
    Operating under a blanket of secrecy, these craft have remained hidden and unrecorded in a way that no other class of military vehicles has. Covert Shores reveals the craft, units, missions and tactics of this unseen world. Spanning from 1776 to the present day, and covering activities in many countries including US, Great Britain, Italy, Israel, Russia, France, Germany, Yugoslavia and Sweden, this book is filled with tales of the ingenuity, resourcefulness, experimentation and cunning of those involved in the design and operations of these expert craft. A must-read for all military enthusiasts.

    268 pages 8.5"x11" full color with over eighty original color illustrations.

    Bravo. I will have to pick this up.
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

      I have to ask, does it cover the USS Alligator? I'd get it just for the info on NR-1 and the X-RAY.

        Yes it does discuss the Alligator, plus most other Civil War designs. its strength is more the Cold War plus the bringing it all together as a single chronology which alone helps explain a lot about the development and employment of these types of vehicle.

        The readers of this forum have an extremely high knowledge of submarines and related craft. I am willing to bet that there is no one who can honestly say that they already knew of every craft in the book even before reading it. I learned a lot researching this book, interviewing people and digging through both public and private archives. And some members of this forum where a huge help too which is how I found this community.
