Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Richly illustrated with rare archival photographs, maps, and specially commissioned color profiles, this authoritative study offers fresh insight into how a single Soviet design came to embody the Cold War's intersection of technology, ideology, and maritime strategy.' - Model ShipwrightsThe Soviet Project 613 -- better known in the West as the Whiskey-class -- was among the most influential submarine designs of the early Cold War. Conceived in the late 1940s as a compact, rugged, and easily-produced diesel-electric attack boat, it became the foundation of the post-war Soviet submarine fleet and the principal export design to Moscow's allies and client states. More than 200 were built, and dozens served under foreign flags from the Baltic to the South China Sea.This volume traces the remarkable story of how these submarines helped shape the naval balance within the Communist and non-aligned worlds. From the formation of fledgling submarine forces in Albania and Bulgaria to the ambitious undersea ambitions of Egypt, Indonesia, and North Korea, the Whiskey-class became both a tool of diplomacy and a weapon of deterrence. These vessels carried Soviet influence into every major regional flashpoint -- from the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean to East Asia -- and provided smaller navies with an unprecedented capability for covert power projection.Drawing on original Russian and Eastern Bloc sources, as well as newly declassified Western intelligence material, Dmitry Zubkov examines the political and technological context of each export programme and the operational careers of the boats in service. The book reveals the unique local adaptations and modifications introduced by different navies, and it recounts the often overlooked operational episodes that brought these submarines into contact -- sometimes collision -- with Western forces.From Indonesia's audacious undersea missions against Dutch colonial forces to North Korea's clandestine operations off Japan, from Albania's defiant use of its small flotilla against both NATO and the Warsaw Pact to Egypt's deployment of submarines during three wars with Israel, Whiskey-Class Submarines provides the first comprehensive English-language account of the type's extraordinary global career.Richly illustrated with rare archival photographs, maps, and specially commissioned colour profiles, this authoritative study offers fresh insight into how a single Soviet design came to embody the Cold War's intersection of technology, ideology, and maritime strategy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While Soviet and Russian combat aircraft, tanks, and air defence systems have long attracted significant attention in the West, far less has been written about the warships built by the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union. Yet these vessels -- particularly destroyers -- played crucial roles in shaping multiple navies around the world.Soviet and Russian Destroyer Exports examines the export and service history of destroyer-class warships between 1904 and 1954. Often overlooked in Western literature, these ships were instrumental in the development of the fleets of Estonia, Finland, French Indochina, Germany, Japan, Peru, and others -- and later fought on several important fronts during the Second World War.This volume explores in depth the negotiations and political context behind each transfer, the wartime careers of the vessels, their modernisation and upgrades, and the personal stories of many of their commanding officers. It also offers valuable insight into the shipbuilding industries of Imperial Russia and the USSR, and how their influence extended to emerging naval powers such as China and India.Covering destroyers built between 1904 and 1941, this first volume presents a rich and previously under-documented history, supported by a wealth of rare archival photographs and specially commissioned colour profile illustrations.
