I've been reading 'The Silent Deep - The Royal Navy Submarine Service since 1945' by Peter Hennessy and James Jinks (2015, Allen Lane Penguin). It's a mighty tome, more than 800 pages. Dunno what it costs because it was a present and the giver snipped that bit off the paper jacket. However it should be obtainable from a public library.
It does seem to me a serious piece of work, with a lot of photos, diagrams and outline drawings of numerous 'fish', some of them from recent years therefore vaguely familiar. Of course much of the content won't be entirely new to ON, but it will look good on his bookshelves and remind him of a few things he's seen and done.
Not of interest only to matelots of course. Others here will enjoy all the tech stuff and military chat.
