The Learning from Experience set available on this page includes all four volumes of the series.

Large, complex submarine design and construction programs demand personnel with unique skills and capabilities supplemented with practical experiences in their areas of expertise. Recognizing the importance of past experiences for successful program management, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth of Australia asked the RAND Corporation to develop a set of lessons learned from previous submarine programs that could help inform future program managers. The four volumes in this set present lessons learned from the Ohio, Seawolf, and Virginia programs of the United States; the Astute program of the United Kingdom; and the Collins program of Australia.
