Keith Hall is the author of numerous works focusing on the Clyde region, naval history, and submarines in particular. His books frequently incorporate extensive collections of old photographs and postcards from the area. His latest publication delves into the K-13 submarine, which sank during its initial trial dive in the early 1900s. A primary motivation for this work was to clear the name of Lt. Lane, who was solely blamed for this tragic accident. Hall's research questions the findings of the official inquiry, presenting an alternative scenario. He is currently working on a book about the Navy's Trident submarines.
Focusing on the evolution of naval technology, this book explores the Trident and Vanguard class submarines, which succeeded the Polaris fleet. It delves into their design, capabilities, and strategic significance in modern warfare, highlighting advancements in underwater stealth and missile systems. The narrative also examines the geopolitical implications of these submarines, offering insights into their role in national defense and deterrence strategies during the Cold War and beyond.
