German U-boats almost brought Britain to its knees in WWI; twenty years later the story was the same. What was it like to be a member of a U-boat crew?
This book provides the truth behind the image portrayed so convincingly in "Das Boot". After the "happy time" of the early war years, when the U-boats struck seemingly at will and to great effect, the later war years were much grimmer for the Kriegsmarine. Their shore bases bombed incessantly by the Allies, the skies above the Atlantic patrolled by deadly long-range submarine busters like the Short Sunderland and their movements tracked by Ultra decrypts and radar, the U-boat crews went to sea knowing that their life expectancy was short and their fate likely to be a watery grave. This is their story, illustrated by a remarkable collection of rare photographs and illustrations, many in color.

Работа известного историка Советского флота, офицера запаса Костриченко Виталия Васильевича,посвящена знаменитым «альбатросам» - кораблям, не имевшим мировых аналогов. МПК, несущим службу в составе флота более 30 лет.
Достаточно детально представлено описание корабля: устройство, вооружение,
энергетическая установка,различное оборудование. Обстоятельно освещена служба Черноморских МПК и дана справка по «альбатросам» других флотов СССР и России. Упоминается и о кораблях в составе ВМС Украины.
Книга насыщена большим количеством схем и включает более 300 фотографий.
Корабли проекта 1124 ( шифр «Альбатрос») считаются больше всего удачными МПК отечественной постройки 2-го поколения, не имели аналогов в мире и предназначались, согласно проекту, для противодействия подводным лодкам противника в ближней зоне военно-морских баз,портов, рейдов и пунктов рассредоточенной стоянки кораблей, на путях развертывания сил советского ВМФ, для несения противолодочного дозора и охраны кораблей и судов на переходе морем. Семьдесят МПК и двадцать пограничных кораблей из семейства «альбатросов» были получены от промышленности за последние 35 лет и интенсивно эксплуатировались на всех четырех флотах ВМФ СССР, России и Украины. Кроме прямого предназначения им довелось осуществлять слежение за крупными кораблями вероятного противника, совершать межокеанские переходы,применять оружие по врагам на берегу, а боевая служба для черноморских кораблей в Средиземном море и Персидском заливе стала обычным делом.
