How to Steal a Submarine. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781731031082)

How to Steal a Submarine.Mr John Smith is an adopted son of a fabulously rich Lord but was ousted from the family when his father died. Having studied physics and hydrodynamics his passion was underwater travel and he was facinated with the achievements of the Russians, in their development of the super-cavitation torpedo about 15 years previously, with a speed of 200 Knots. John wanted to develop his own torpedo and extend the technology to a Nuclear Submarine thereby producing a super-cavitation Submarine that could travel at incredibly high speeds. Mr John Smith joined the Royal Navy and did produce his high-speed torpedo. He was transferred to the United States Navy where he eventually qualified as a Submarine Captain. He continued with his design and eventually an agreement was arrived at, between the US and UK governments, to build this radical submarine under the guidance of John. The Submarine would be built in Philadelphia and intended for the Royal Navy.Nearing build completion John became disillusioned and missed the wealth he enjoyed during his younger years. He was offered an enormous amount of money, by an agent of a third-party country, to steal the submarine. The plan was to incapacitate the crew and deliver the Submarine to a modified super-tanker.John had to select the 'doomed' crew and 8 accomplices who were given a fortune for their part of the plot. I joined the submarine as the senior Chief Petty Officer in the propulsion department. I formed part of a combined US and UK crew that sailed the vessel from Philadelphia and carried out initial sea trials. Once in the UK the new, all British, crew joined a took control of the Submarine. I was reunited with two old friends who were strangely very standoffish towards me. These two were part of John Smith's mutinous crew and knew they would be partly responsible for my death and so had to deal with that guilt.I had a serious drinking problem and had to maintain a high level of alcohol intake. Because of my senior position I could satisfy my needs without detection. Because of my problem I was able to thwart the theft of the Submarine and escape from it. There is a surprising twist to the end of this story.A cunning plot unfolds of how a Nuclear Submarine's crew can be incapacitated by a few, and the Submarine becoming lost to the nation. However, the most disturbing feature of this story is it could easily become reality.
