I just finished reading "War in the Boats-My WWII Submarine Battles", Capt. William J. Ruhe, USN {Ret}...[Fwd by Tom Clancy]...940.5426 RUHE 1944

Great Read. The best so far of the type. Starts with S boats in Melborne...after having escaped Cavite...

Delightfully accurate about 'life on a real Pig-Boat'...including Cockroaches in the cork insulation of the hull...

Or maybe the new Fleet boats had better insulation and were too new for 'the little devils' ??
