Annotation:
A good site for an introduction to submarine history. Includes accounts of an American Revolutionary era model through to modern nuclear submarines. A QuickTime virtual tour of the Bowfin takes one inside the various compartments and holds. A history of the ship's activities during World War II beginning with its launch just a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor is also recounted. A large number of links to other submarine and naval sites of interest are compiled.
