It' worth a read, but can be tedious and reviews of many technical errors.
Be interesting to know what TF attacked
Amazing the men of the Billfish kept silent about the CO's failure, not only in that, but the next one as well and Lucas agreed he would transfer out of subs to them, which he did. More amazing, it was kept silent for 60 years.
