I loved SH3, and I own and have read Iron Coffins, the U-boat Commander's Handbook, Operation Drumbeat and Hitler's U-boat War (both volumes). Those books were great for getting a feel for the U-boat side of things in the war and what those sailors experiences were.

My question now is what books are good to read in order to get a feel for US submarine operations in the Pacific? I don't know much about it, as I've always been a fan of the European theatre when it comes to WW2 history. Any recommendations on a good place to start?
