Books on the Battle of the Atlantic often give German U-boats a prominent place, but broad histories give the Royal Navy's submarine arm much less space. Destroyers and the Fleet Air Arm usually receive at least a passing mention. That imbalance hides part of how the war worked and removes submarine crews from the larger story. It also obscures Malta's dual role as a besieged island and an offensive submarine base.
