Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Whiskey-class (Soviet Project 613) submarines were the most numerous submarine produced after 1945. The type is best Known in the West for the 1981 'Whiskey on the Rocks' incident when an example became stranded in Swedish waters but had a long and successful career with the Soviet and allied navies. Whiskey-class Submarines: Soviet Project 613 Submarines in Service with Foreign Navies, 1951-1990 examines the very successful foreign use of this Soviet design, often derided within the West as being based upon obsolete Second World War German technologies and consequently of little threat or concern. As the Project 613 boats were replaced by newer types in Soviet service, a number of vessels were exported to allied or client states where they operated in several conflicts without loss. The type was able to evade contemporary British sonars and was used to successfully land special forces inside enemy territory without detection. This book describes the service history of the type with the Albanian, Bulgarian, Egyptian, Indonesian, Polish and Syrian fleets, and looks at Chinese production of the type and their service with the People's Liberation Army Navy. In addition, the experience of the crews and captains are examined. Whiskey-class Submarines: Soviet Project 613 Submarines in Service with Foreign Navies, 1951-1990 is illustrated with many photographs, very often extremely rare, and includes specially commissioned color artworks. AUTHOR: Dmitry Zubkov from Russia, a banker with 25 years of experience, has a lifelong interest in the subject of military history and has written a number of books and articles in Russian on a variety of related subjects. His particular area of interest is the little-studied issue of Soviet arms export during the Cold War, especially warships. His studies little known details of the warships' careers, the warships' influence on the buildup of the recipient navies, and the experiences of their crews. 70 b/w photos, 6 colour illustrations, 30 colour photos, 1 colour map, 2 b/w maps, 3 tables The Whiskey-class (Soviet Project 613) submarines were the most numerous submarine produced after 1945.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: 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.…
