Default Submarine books?

Are there any good books about submarines that are fictional and really just about a submarine? No scifi or WWII.

Check out the Jerry Mitchell series by Larry Bond, I found it to be very well written and gives what seems to be a fairly accurate and detailed glimps into the routine aboard a us navy submarine in a way that’s far from Boring.
