Strike from the Sea

de Norman Polmar, John O'Connell

"Strike from the Sea addresses the U.S. Navy's Regulus missile program-the world's first submarine weapon for attacking an enemy homeland with a nuclear warhead-and the similar Soviet Navy's cruise missile efforts. Prior to Regulus a few of the world's submarines had deck guns that were employed for assaulting coastal targets; indeed, the British built a class of "submarine monitors" with large-caliber guns for attacking coastal targets."--
