Naval Nuclear

In Heroes Beneath the Waves, many brave men who rode submarines to great depths and across the oceans into unknown territory share their experiences, fears, and thoughts. They allow us to travel back in time through their memories. Trained for years to keep silent - for "loose lips sink ships" - many still believe what they know to be classified and refuse to disclose even the minutest of recollections. Others, however, want to leave a legacy of reminiscences for people to learn and live by - to know that freedom is not free.

“Charles Jett has written an entertaining and factual memoir of an important time and series of events in the history of the cold war. He has succeeded in telling the unclassified story of the journey taken by an extraordinary group of men who built the first operational “Super Nuke” and effectively shared what they developed with others in the entire US nuclear submarine force. He created the SSN Pre Deployment training program, consolidated developments made on the Ray to create the highly useful Geographic Plot (Geo Plot) and wrote the tactical doctrine for the SSN based electronic...

From two time Amazon #1 Bestseller author. His son tapped on the hull for four days. The Russian government decided rescue was politically inconvenient. Captain Viktor Sobolev hasn't forgotten. Two years of planning. Eighty-three men united by grief. One target: the Sovetsky Gnev, a mothballed Typhoon-class submarine — the largest ever built. They will steal it from a frozen naval graveyard. They will sail it into international waters. And they will read the names of the 118 men who died aboard the Kursk to a world that stopped listening. But the submarine holds a secret that Moscow ...

When a Chinese hypersonic missile tears into a U.S. aircraft carrier, killing hundreds and crippling its air wing, Commander Rachel Hale is flown straight into the wreckage to replace a fallen aviator—and to fight a war that has already crossed every red line. The Pacific is on the brink. Carrier strike groups are under constant missile attack. Tactical nuclear weapons have already been used. And the U.S. Navy is running out of pilots. Hale’s solution isn’t retreat. It’s evolution. As China presses its advantage through coercive missile strikes and carrier deployments, Hale ...

Six hundred feet down, on a routine training run, USS Oregon passes through eleven seconds she can't explain, and surfaces eighty-three years in her own past, twenty-five miles from a harbor that's still burning. It's December 10, 1941. Pearl Harbor was hit three days ago. Captain Daniel Reyes commands a Virginia-class submarine that could erase the entire Imperial Japanese Navy without ever being detected, and he has no way home. This is not the story where an American submarine wins the Pacific War in an afternoon. It's the story of what it costs a good man to have that option and refuse ...

In Rick Campbell's next action-packed thriller Deep Strike, the U.S. Atlantic fleet is in a race to stop a rogue Russian submarine—funded by ISIS—en route to launch a missile attack against the east coast of the U.S. A shoulder-launched missile attack on a convoy of vehicles leaving the U.N...

The world heard the names. Now every navy on Earth wants the submarine silenced. Captain Viktor Sobolev's broadcast of the Kursk dead made him the most wanted man alive. The Russian government calls him a terrorist. NATO calls him a rogue nuclear threat. The truth is worse than either — because someone inside the Kremlin authorized the entire operation, and Viktor was never the rebel he believed himself to be. Now hunted through Arctic waters by his own fleet and shadowed by an American submarine commander who isn't sure whether to sink him or save him, Viktor faces a threat far more ...

At 0610 on 3 November 1983, a rusting submarine breaks the surface off Kannonzaki with her flag up, her decks manned, and nine knots on the log — inside the gun arcs of two navies. She is not sneaking. She is arriving. The last night runs on small things. Two letters written at a wardroom table, one in English and one in Korean, for the case where only paper survives. A cassette played once with everyone pretending not to listen. A ballast calculation for a single rise at dawn, worked by hands that have not been steady in a week. Ashore it runs on smaller things still. A tasking order ...

Can Peter Sinclair and his men foil a Communist revolt in the Caribbean? Lieutenant Peter Sinclair, RN is recalled to serve with the British Section of the United Nations Naval Security Force.

The submarine is dying. The world is watching. And the wolves are circling. Captain Viktor Sobolev has done the impossible — surfaced a stolen Typhoon-class submarine in open water and forced the world to witness Russia's darkest secrets. Every missile hatch is open. Every camera on the planet is pointed at his boat. The truth is finally out. But truth doesn't stop torpedoes. A rogue attack submarine crewed by nationalist officers is hunting him through the Pacific, and it isn't interested in politics. It's interested in killing. Meanwhile, the Typhoon is tearing itself apart from the ...

The Cold War Didn’t Just Play Out in the Sky — It Unfolded in the Silent Depths Below The ocean was supposed to be empty. Controlled. Secure. Yet during the most dangerous decades of the Cold War, sailors, pilots, and submariners began reporting something profoundly unsettling. Unknown objects hovering above nuclear fleets. Lights descending into the sea. Radar and sonar contacts that behaved unlike anything built by human hands. While the world focused on missile silos and bomber routes, the true frontline of deterrence slipped beneath the waves — and something appeared to be ...

In 1954, a submarine slipped beneath the waves of Long Island Sound and stayed there — for hours, but for days, then weeks, then months at a time. USS Nautilus didn't just improve on the diesel boats that came before her. She made them obsolete overnight. Nautilus: The Submarine That Changed the World tells the story of how a handful of engineers, one famously abrasive admiral, and a wartime bomb-building program turned Jules Verne's fantasy into a working warship. It's the story of Hyman Rickover, who bullied and browbeat the U.S. Navy into building a reactor no one believed could fit ...

Douglas Webster was a young pilot from Ohio, newly married and with 17 combat missions under his belt. On December 5, 1965 he strapped into an A-4 Skyhawk bomber for a routine weapons loading drill and simulated mission. After mishandling the maneuver, the plane and its pilot sunk to the bottom of the South China Sea, along with a live B43 one-megaton thermonuclear bomb. A cover-up mission began.

Piece by piece, Rowe and Delamagente uncover a bizarre nexus between a man Rowe thought dead, a North Korean communications satellite America believes is weaponized, an ideologue that cares only about revenge, and the USS Bunker Hill (a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser) tasked ...

2,600 people. 360 kilometers. January in the Arctic. Tropical gear. The march has begun. Admiral Chen's fleet is dying—reactor failing, hull breached, ice closing in.
