Though the Union Navy held a numerical advantage over its Confederate counterpart, the South's forces had one weapon that was not readily available to the North--underwater mines, known at the time as torpedoes. More Union ships were destroyed by torpedoes than by all other means combined.

The "underwater warfare" covered by this book is mostly mines (torpedoes). There is a lot of information on technology and personalities, but the narrative jumps back and forth in time and among personalities. There are also a few chapters on the development of submarines, leading up to the Hunley, but this topic is covered much better in Chaffin, "The H.L. Hunley" and Ragan, "Union and Confederate Submarine Warfare."
