The Impact of The General Board of The Navy on Interwar Submarine Design

In the words of the author, from the end of World War I to the onset of World War II ""the U.S. went from a force that was unsuccessful operating close to the coast to one that was very successful operating in the great distances of the Pacific Ocean."" The submarine force was an equal war-winning partner in the campaign against Japan, and this outcome can in large part be traced to the decisions of the General Board of the Navy on submarine design during the interwar period. This document is a Master's thesis titled ""The Impact of the General Board of the Navy on Interwar Submarine Design"" by LCDR Jeffrey K. Juergens. The thesis examines the role of the General Board of the Navy in shaping submarine design between World War One and World War Two. It analyzes improvements in submarine offensive armament, propulsion, endurance, and habitability using transcripts of the General Board's meetings. The thesis highlights the significant improvement of the United States submarine force during the interwar period and its impact on Japan's war efforts in World War Two.
