I have read that the Cold War, the American nuclear sub force was a major deterrent to war with the USSR.
I suppose the deterring Armageddon may be considered "influential"!

I truly believe that and vice versa. Tom Clancey did as well with his excellent book-The Hunt for Red October.I have read that the Cold War, the American nuclear sub force was a major deterrent to war with the USSR.

HK, as to your observation about the different perceptions of US and German sub warfare, I believe you will find that, during Doenitz's trial at Nuremberg, Admiral Nimitz, of the USN, testified that the US employed the same tactics in the PTO that Germany did in the ETO. Perhaps Nimitz felt a kinship with Doenitz because they were both of German extraction and both had names that ended in Z. LOL
So to return to the thread, The Turbinia must enter the arena. (No turbines, no nuclear subs)......I'm going to regret this aren't I????
HMS Bulldog a boarding team from Bulldog boarded U110 and captured an Enigma set but much more importantly the code books and documentation that went with it that helped Bletchley Park to crack the U Boat codes.
Without that documentation enigma might not have been cracked and the Battle of the Atlantic might have been considerably bloodier and delayed D Day.
