The book commences with a discussion of the policy issues as to whether Australia needed submarines and then the decision to buy AE1 and AE2. It then goes through their coming to Australia, the tragic loss of AE1 in New Guinea on 14 September 1914 and the bravery and daring of the AE2 crew in penetrating the Dardanelles on Anzac Day in 1915. The history then goes on to deal with the J-Class submarines that came to Australia in 1919, the first Oxley and Otway (which went to the RN in the Depression in 1931), and the fact that in World War Two, Australia had no submarines except for the Dutch K IX whose career ended with a battery explosion in 1944. Then the period of the RN Fourth Submarine Squadron based in Sydney is dealt with, including some of the happy memories of those who served in it. The book sets out the story of the new RAN submarine arm from 1963. When Oxley (S 57) arrived in Neutral Bay, Sydney, in 1967, so began the new Australian era of submarines. The basic dates of the O Boats are outlined, along with the building and basic dates of the Collins class. The book deals with some of the issues about the intelligence patrols, about the Future Submarine and also records the numerous plaques, services, memorials and museums in Australia and overseas dedicated to Australian submarines and Australian and NZ submariners. There is a detailed chapter on special submarine craft such as the X-Craft in which some of the submarine heroes like Max Sheean, Henty Henty-Creer and Ken Briggs served, and in some cases died. The appendices to this book are numerous and detailed by a strong team from around the world, including Garry Mellon, Barrie Downer and Pat Heffernan. Numerous photographs have been collected and included in the book to fit in with the text from Darren Brown and others. The appendices also list all Australian submariners who have qualified and served up until mid-2014, including those who have died.

A unique and outstanding military and industrial achievement, the Collins class submarine project was also plagued with difficulties and mired in politics. Its story is one of heroes and villains, grand passions, intrigue, lies, spies and backstabbing. It is as well a story of enormous commitment and resolve to achieve what many thought impossible. The building of these submarines was Australia's largest, most expensive and most controversial military project. From initiation in the 1981–2 budget to the delivery of the last submarine in 2003, the total cost was in excess of six billion dollars. Over 130 key players were interviewed for this book, and the Australian Defence Department allowed access to its classified archives and the Australian Navy archives. Vividly illustrated with photographs from the collections of the Royal Australian Navy and ASC Pty Ltd, The Collins Class Submarine Story: Steel, Spies and Spin, first published in 2008, is a riveting and accessibly written chronicle of a grand-scale quest for excellence.

Contrary to what many Australians believe, during 1942 Japanese submarines were active in Australian waters and Japanese spy planes made surveillance flights over our major cities. With enemy submarines patrolling off the Western Australian coast, Fremantle became an important international submarine base, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. During the war Fremantle played host to over 170 Allied submarines, with submarines of the United States, British and Dutch navies making a total of 416 war patrols out of the port between March 1942 and August 1945. The secrecy surrounding the operation of the Fremantle submarine base meant that its existence was little known at the time and, until now, has been largely forgotten by history.

Australia’s Submariners are a group with an extremely strong sense of identity that goes well beyond occupational comradeship or the esprit de corps of military life in peace or war. Since 1914, the unique skills, attitudes, values and demands of the work they do and the environment in which they do it have forged unparalleled camaraderie. A camaraderie that extends beyond nationality, embracing submariners past and present of every other nation. No one but submariners understand the experience of diving deep beneath the waves in technology filled tubes of steel, each submariner totally dependent on the other for a safe return to the surface. The ethos of Australia’s submariners is based upon these factors and remains strong even when they leave the sea and take up other occupations. Australia’s future submarines will certainly present challenges in terms of sophistication, technology and capability however the characteristics of our submariners evolved over previous generations will remain much the same; trained and equipped to meet the challenges; just as they have been met and surmounted so many times, in silence, over a century of service.

Commander Paul Davidson is not a submariner himself, but through detailed research, wide reading, and lengthy discussions with current and former submarine commanding officers, he has written a most comprehensive and interesting account of the capabilities and utilization of the submarine as both a tactical and strategic weapon over the past 100 years. His book gives the reader a unique insight into the world of the undersea warrior. - Commodore Michael Dunne AM RAN Retd. This book presents a comprehensive exploration of the Australian submarine service within the broader context of global submarine warfare history. Delving into extensive research and literature, it meticulously traces the evolution and operational trajectory of submarines, spanning from their rudimentary forms a century ago to their pivotal roles in both World Wars, the Cold War era, and the contemporary proliferation of conventional and nuclear-powered submarines across various naval fleets worldwide. A focal point of analysis is the in-depth examination of the renowned 'Perisher' course, illuminating the training regimen for submarine commanders. Through insightful interviews with multiple Australian captains, the book extracts valuable lessons on effective leadership that transcend maritime warfare. Throughout its narrative, the book interweaves historical anecdotes highlighting the formidable potency of submarines as formidable instruments of war, capable of serving as deterrents and, if necessary, as destructive forces. Consequently, it provides a timely and pertinent overview of the burgeoning significance of submarines within the landscape of international naval conflicts. Paul Davidson did national service as an Air Force officer in the Vietnam War era, before spending 15 years as a clinical psychologist in Australia and New Zealand, and 30 years as a university business educator, including six years teaching in the Royal Australian Naval Staff College at HMAS Penguin. More recently he served as a naval officer in the Submarine branch and instructor in the Australian Defence College, and in naval strategy. He published academic papers and widely recommended books in the field of Management, Human Resource Management, and Project Management. Now, he has brought his scholarship to bear as an amateur naval historian, in writing about Australian Submarines and their place in the history of naval warfare.
