The Purpose of this Page:
In the very broadest sense everything about
submarines on the internet could be called "history". Included in that
history, of course, would be personal web pages, the
boat pages,
our "sea stories"
and pages dedicated to REMEMBERING those on
eternal patrol. And you can always LOOK
IT UP in books and museums.
This collection page, as presented here,
is not intended to duplicate the above, but rather is intended to be a
place to consolidate links to submarine history sites. Specifically, for
lack of a better term, those internet pages that are of a more-or-less
scholarly nature. That is, those providing reasonably well researched and
referenced submarine historical information. This assemblage also includes
some pages of historical content which were previously linked on my other
pages -- those that were adrift in that limbo called "miscellaneous".
Although many excellent submarine history
pages are "official Navy" I have chosen to feature an unofficial page by
Gary W. McCue.( His Holland page - linked on at Our
Sumarine History Index-02. It is a very well researched, rich
source of information -- and is in fact, the best I have seen on the net
about that man often called the "father of modern submarines", John
P. Holland.
