The following authors all have written first-person accounts of their experiences in US submarines during WW2:

Edward l (Ned) Beach, Jr
James Calvert
Eugene Fluckey
I J (Pete) Galantin
Richard O’Kane
William Ruhe
Kenneth Ruiz
Paul Schratz

All were officers, most commanded their own boats, and one won the CMH. Their first-person stories are compelling, and you can learn a lot that is useful in playing SH4 (and SH3 and SH5), from men who did it for real. These men are generally good writers as well. Pick any one to start. You can’t go wrong, and you are likely to read them all.
