X.1 - The Royal Navy's Mystery Submarine

Roger Branfil-Cook

The 'X' stood for experimental and X.1 was the world's largest, most heavily armed, and deepest diving submersible of the day.

A controversial project conceived behind the backs of the politicians, this book explores the historical background to submarine cruisers, the personalities involved in X.1's design and service, the spy drama surrounding her launch, the treason trial of a leading RN submarine commander, the ship's chequered career, and her political demise.
