Forged in War

<p>Winner of the Roosevelt Prize for naval history.</p><p>This is the first book to analyze the critical partnership among the Navy industry & science forged by World War II & responsible for producing submarines in the U.S. until 1961. Weir argues that the triangular naval industrial & scientific network that designed & built American submarines from 1940 to 1961 not only integrated the Navy & the submarine industry but also promoted the involvement of many scientists who had the expert knowledge to develop submarine designs systems & instrumentation. The intimate professional relationships forged by global war & the sense of purpose & urgency during the later Cold War led to a period of remarkable innovation & productivity in the 16 years after 1945.
