"Submarine Warfare of To-day" by Charles W. Domville-Fife is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the advancements and strategies surrounding submarine warfare during World War I, focusing on the development of anti-submarine tactics and technologies. The author, who has firsthand experience in the naval battle against German submarines, explores how the Allied forces organized their naval resources, trained personnel, and utilized new technologies to combat the submarine threat effectively. The opening of the book introduces the dire situation of maritime warfare as World War I began, with the British navy facing a new type of threat posed by German submarine warfare. Domville-Fife explains the urgency to form a "new navy" composed of various vessels and personnel from across the British Empire to patrol and protect vital sea routes. He highlights the rapid mobilization of resources, the diversity of ships and crafts—many repurposed from civilian use—and the diverse backgrounds of the personnel who answered the call to defend the seas. The detailed descriptions of naval strategy and the integration of technological advancements set the stage for a deeper exploration of the complexities and challenges the Allied navy faced during the war.
