Hunter Killers

Hunter Killers Book Description

This is the all-action story of how the Royal Navy's silent service transformed itself from the piratical, maverick outfit it was in the Second World War into an all nuclear fleet with enough firepower to destroy a continent. From cat-and-mouse games with the Russians in old Second World War diesel boats ill-equipped for operating under the ice to serious underwater collisions between British and Soviet boats, and from a near nuclear meltdown in Liverpool to a torpedo attack by the Russians against a Royal Navy warship in the late 1980s, HUNTER KILLERS is packed with stories revealed for the first time by men who've never spoken before. This is the dramatic untold story of Britain's most secret service.
