A well researched and surprisingly detailed book about the UK,s latest submarines. A lot of research has been done, it s quite concerning where the lack of submarine designers is discussed. The modern construction methods are impressive, bit do lead to the question as to why the build takes 10 years to complete ? Given the advantages of indoor working, also using modular construction which is far easier than " in situ " which was the method years ago. Having worked on the Churchill class I'm amazed that these boats will not need any refuelling in their life time.
