I've been slowly chipping my way through Jean Boudriot's massive four-volume set The Seventy-Four Gun Ship the last month or so. I'm currently about a quarter through the third book. They're undoubtedly excellent books, some of the most detailed naval reference books I've ever seen...but they're so expensive I'm afraid to even touch them! :o

Recently finished Zeppelin Hindenburg: An Illustrated History of LZ-129. Quite a fascinating book, with lots of photographs and illustrations I haven't seen elsewhere. Refreshing to see a book that doesn't just treat the Hindenburg as a giant symbol of Nazi hubris that exploded, but rather as a technical marvel and a passenger vessel which had a successful, if brief, career.

Just finished 'Sink 'em all' by VADM Charles Lockwood :yeah:. Great read! It's a behind the scenes look at our submarine fleet after Pearl Harbor.

Just started 'Clear the Bridge!' by Dick O'Kane. A must for any submariner! :yeah:

I had to grind through this book in 12th grade literature :wah:

Never fully understood "Objectivism". A little too cosmic for me. :hmmm:

Recently finished "Silent Running" by James Calvert and started "The War Below" by James Scott. Before those, I plowed through "The Depths of Courage" by Flint Whitlock and John R. Smith.


That's for non-fiction. For fiction, I periodically leaf through the works of Ned Beach, Harry Homewood, and P.T. Deutermann ("The Iceman" was one hell of a page turner if you haven't caught it yet). Now I'm working on my own! :yeah:

I have just finished this one and I have enjoyed it a lot :Kaleun_Applaud:

Very immersive and well written.

The Enemy: Life Aboard a U.S. Navy Destroyer

I highly recommend it for people interested in destroyer operations.

On loan from a friend and not long into it but it looks very promising.

I have just finished one and I have really enjoyed it a lot.
The history of USS England, the most decorated Antisubmarine Escor in the US Navy related by his XO and later CO.

6 Japanese submarines in 12 days :Kaleun_Salute:

Nice reading. I highly recommend if you like Tin Cans

Antisubmarine Warrior in the Pacific: Six Subs Sunk in Twelve Days

Just finished reading United States Navy Submarines 1900-2019 which was $1.99 on Kindle. It was okay for an introduction to the subject (which means none of us here really need it...) but the writing was repetitive and there were some odd mistakes (the Skipjacks had pumpjet propulsors and the Ohios had 16 missile tubes...really?).



My review here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1B9LD...p_perm?ie=UTF8

I been reading WWI submarine warfare this summer. I had sketchy knowledge on the subject. I did find some good general history , but now I'm looking for more first person accounts.

"The Journal of Submarine Commander von Forstner" by Georg-Gunther von Forstner. in public domain https://uboat.net/wwi/men/commanders/76.html

"To the Last Salute: Memories: of an Austrian U-boat Commander" by Georg von Trapp. This was a surprise. I found this a fascinating personal narrative of the Adriatic / Mediterranean front, and his everyday experiences and tactics on early Austrian U-boats.

The Eastern Front: Memoirs of a Waffen SS Volunteer, 1941–1945

Excellent read so far, I am loving it. I read almost 50% of it on a vacation in the last week of July, now I am 70% through it.
I picked it up on Kindle here:
https://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-U-Boa...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

I'm gonna read the second book next.

^ An excellent read. I have both volumes (hardback versions) stored for safe keeping but could never understand why volume two, The Hunted is always so much more expensive.

I consider this the daddy of them all. A bit technical in places and not cheap. In fact back in the day I remember sending a copy to Kpt Lehmann as a xmas present.
