The giant X.1 submarine was a controversial project for the Royal Navy: conceived behind the backs of the politicians, it would remain an unwanted stepchild. This book explores the historical background to submarine cruisers, the personalities involved in X.1's design and service, the spy drama surrounding her launch, the treason trial of a leading RN submarine commander, the ship's chequered career and her political demise.
