Summary: This is the most intricate of this series in have seen.
Comment: Based on the A type submarine class that served the Royal Navy for nearly 40 years, The Submarine alliance goes into incredible detail. If you have ever seen inside a submarine it is an amazing jumble of pipe, wires and gauges encapsulated in a tiny cylinder. This book depicts how it all works and is more like an engineers manual than the typical Anatomy of the ship book. Every system is drawn in detail, from the ballast tanks, how the pipes go through the ship, to the gauges that control them. Even the batteries are drawn in cutaway. This is the most intricate of this series in have seen.

Summary: Incredibly detailed!
Comment: I'll probably never build a model of the Alliance, but I've always been interested in submarine technology. This volume has completely satisfied my desire for detail! Page after page after page of labelled isometrics of telemotor steering systems, Kingston valves, periscope optics, and other goodies. Wow! And for the modeller who *will* be building the Alliance, there are lots of pages of photographs of her and her sister ships in their various incarnations. Truly a cool book!
