"The Submarine in War and Peace: Its Development and its Possibilities" by Simon Lake is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work primarily focuses on the technology and conceptual evolution of submarines, exploring their mechanical principles, historical developments, and potential future applications in both military and peacetime contexts. The author provides insights into the submarine's role as an influential instrument in naval warfare, reflecting the changing perceptions of this technology during World War I. At the start of the text, Lake introduces his motivation for writing the book, emphasizing the lack of accessible information on submarines during his early research years. He contrasts the widespread misunderstanding in public discourse about submarines with the actual technological advancements made since their inception. Lake aims to clarify the complexity and operational capabilities of submarines, addressing misconceptions while also detailing the various components that constitute modern submarines. He emphasizes not only the practical application of submarines in warfare but also their broader implications for political and industrial domains, suggesting that their continued evolution is essential in the context of modern naval strategy.
