What is the history behind the submarine?
i am doing a history project on the submarine used in world war 1 only!
i need to know the following:
-a thorough background description of how it was developed, including names of inventors, companies...
-its purpose/how it was used during the war
-how did it become or contribute to a post-war, peacetime innovation
-is it still used today in some way

any information would be great, thanks :)

Very good. A new Heralkles
My Dear
You are going to a huge task. Every developed country can claim part of main achievements in submarines development.
Here are some links you can start with

www.deeptorm.ru (in Russian, sorry !)

I hope it will help.
