SUBMARINE 101

This is the web page for the author of Trident Deception. I've finished the book, and he does an excellent job of describing submarine operations - certainly the best I have ever read, including Tom Clancy. Check out his web page, and for those who are not submariners, check out "Submarine 101" (it is really done very good).
