I also highly recommend George Grider's (...as told to a ghost writer, q.v.) War Fish. Very, very, informative.
I am always looking for more books to add to my library.

I am not finding anything on "US Sub Ops" Is that the full and complete title?

Also concerning Grider's book. I would be interested in hearing your opinions about the accuracy of this book? What specifically do you like about this book and what does it contain that is not covered in other books.

I am always reluctant to put much weight in a memoir. My very biased opinion is that I find memoirs very interesting and entertaining to read, but not always a citable source.
