World War-11 (1939-45)
It was during these six years of war that the submarine came into its real value as a weapon, with the Nazi-German navy in the early years being a menace to Allied shipping. The Wolf packs were very successful, until the German Enigma code and Sonar was broken and invented.
These submarines remained cramped to live and operate in, but they could stay underwater for longer and were faster. In fact only after world war-II was it discovered how much of a 'Coffins were the U-Boats.
It takes a certain type of person to be a submariner, the confined and underwater life would mark out men and woman to this present day. Because the submarine now is more about going deeper and not being seen at all.
