The Submarine Research Center is a small group of retired submariners who in civilian life performed various kinds of research. We now apply this knowledge and ability to collecting and disseminating information about submarines. Our research is not constrained to nationality or time. We simply try to answer questions that come to us from the public while charging nothing for the service.
