Also, which book is it where the author (a us submerine commander) talks about reconning a small atoll and since they didn't have a good map of it, they outlined it on Toilet Paper and blew it up using a camera lens to make a bigger map?  |
I think that would be the Wewak harbor recon conducted by the Wahoo with Mush Morton commanding and Richard O'Kane serving as XO. IIRC it was the first war patrol after Morton took over from the CO O'Kane hated that was very conservative.
