Description - Britain's Anti-submarine Capability 1919-1939 by George Franklin
Drawing extensively on primary resources, George Franklin traces the evolution of all the various parts of Britain's anti-submarine capability, including sensors, weapons, ships, aircraft and the organizations that procured, managed and operated the material. The book also examines the development of the specialist anti-submarine and submarine-detector branches. A detailed analysis of early wartime actions tests the system's effectiveness. Through a close study of exercises, progress reports, staff papers and evolving tactical doctrine, the book challenges the view that the Royal Navy, suffering from over-confidence in newly developed sensors, neglected to study the anti-submarine problem in the inter-war years. It shows that a substantial amount of work was in fact undertaken, and that, in 1939, a cadre of expertise was in place to provide advice and guidance to senior officers, and that, when correctly employed, the available anti-submarine measures were highly effective.
