it also has one of the most detailed accounts of a crew escaping from a sinking(on fire) submarine...thats something I'm glad I never had to do.....
its a great ww2 naval book anyway..

Find these titles for O'Kane's first-hand accounts:
Wahoo: The Patrols of America's Most Famous World War II Submarine by O'Kane
Clear the Bridge! The War Patrols of the USS Tang by O'Kane
Fine reads!
