Volume 103 - 1st printing. "Confederate Submarines and Torpedo Vessels 1861-65!" Written by Angus Konstam. Art by Tony Bryan. The primary Union strategy during the American Civil War was a massive naval blockade of the entire Southern coastline of the Confederacy, and it was in the effort to counter this blockade that the Confederates developed their first submarines and torpedo boats. This book traces the development of these new technologies, including the CSS Little David' and Hunley' - respectively the first torpedo boat and submarine to sink an enemy warship. The wreck of the Hunley' was raised in 2000, and this is the first book ever to integrate details of its recovery with an account of Confederate submarines in action. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 129 - 1st printing. "British Submarines 1939–45!" Written by Innes McCartney. Art by Tony Bryan. The submarine was the invisible but formidable weapon of the Royal Navy during World War II. This book examines the three major classes – ‘S', ‘T' and ‘U' – detailing their design, development and modification. The major submarine engagements of the war are recounted, including the Norwegian campaign, the battle of Malta in March 1942, Operation Pedestal, and many other engagements in all theatres between the British subs, German U-Boats and Japanese subs. Using many previously unpublished sources and his own extensive underwater explorations, Innes McCartney gives a highly detailed account of the British submarine. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 138 - 1st printing. "US Nuclear Submarines: The Fast Attack!" Written by Jim Christley. Art by Tony Bryan. The adoption of nuclear power revolutionized submarine design and means that vessels can stay underwater for months, trailing the enemy or training weapons on land targets from secret positions, "always there, never seen." Jim Christley, a former submariner, explores here the influence of Admiral Hyman Rickover in cautiously introducing these stealthy machines of war, and frankly discusses the power and perils of using nuclear reactors at sea. Using unique and detailed artwork, he outlines the many evolving aspects of design within the submarine classes, from the very first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, to the classes under construction even now. Softcover, 48 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $17.95.
