I can’t offer anything on the nuts & bolts, but for the strategic justification of the submarine’s role in the Marine Nationale (late 19th/early 20thC) it would be worth studying the Jeune École. Try Theodore Ropp (pic) plus some good articles online such as digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewcont...

BTW - I’m only alive thanks to the NHS & its treatment of my cancers so I’m not blind to its value. But the current financial model for sustaining the system is untenable and unrealistic.

Thanks for this Stephen - I’m migrating my personal account to this platform, but as @Sweepers3945 I’m sticking with X as I don’t want to abandon followers as there’s less than 1 year to go on the countdown to V-J Day & the immediate aftermath.
