The earliest experiments with submarines date from the 16th century, but the first practical subs were built from the designs of Irish-American engineer J.P. Holland at the beginning of this century. Here are diagrammatic illustrations, battle illustrations, and photos that show submarine development, with emphasis on the vessels of World Wars I and II, and modern nuclear subs.
