If you prefer to read the actual ships logs you can go here and check out the boat you wish to read.

No book forms just microfiche of the actual logs. I hadn't realized the Barb had did service in the Atlantic before she went to the pacific.

Some logs are shorter than others but I find reading them is fascinating. Random failures, shielding being swept off the boat by heavy seas and at other times not being able to maintain depth even at 120 feet due to high seas. I thought water over the periscope was bad in SH4 until I read about the the fogging issue on the periscope that limited visual time to ten second intervals. That would be hell.

Read them all here:
