Underwater Warriors

Kemp. Paul: 1996 Arms and Armour, hardcover with dust jacket, 256 pages, illustrated. Underwater Warriors by Paul Kemp surveys the origins, technology, and operations of midget submarines, human torpedoes, and specialist frogman units, tracing their evolution from late‑19th‑century concepts to their World War II prominence and beyond into postwar derivatives and roles. It highlights Italian, Japanese, German, and British programs, such as the Royal Navy’s X‑craft, and recounts daring attacks on heavily defended harbors, emphasizing the tactics, technical details, and the often‑overlooked impact of underwater special operations in modern naval history.
