Encyclopedia of British Submarines 1901-1955
By Paul Akermann
Periscope Publishing Ltd., 2002 - Technology & Engineering - 522 pages
The history of the development of submarines covered in this book spans the most tumultuous years of the 20th century. When the little Holland No. 1 was launched in 1901, few could guess that the submarine would become the most potent weapon of war ever developed.

TALENT (i) ex-P.322 listed as TALENT 03.02.43 to 14.07.43, became ZWAARDVIS from 15.09.43
TALENT (ii) ex-P.343 listed as TALENT 04.07.43 to 10.44
