Holy Cow! Oh well, you asked for it. First is a collection of books by submariners, some famous, some not, autographed for Warren Watkins, my wife's grandfather who served aboard USS Kraken in WWII. These were purchased at various US Subvets Of WWII conventions.
War Patrols of the USS Flasher, autographed by author William R McCants
Thunder Below, autographed by author Admiral Eugene Fluckey
Sub Duty, autographed by Finback crew member and author Grover S McLeod
Torpedoman, autographed by author Ron Smith--if you can find it trade your first born!

The rest aren't autographed but some are quite hard to find.
