Crimson Tide - The book, not the film

I just finished reading Crimson Tide, by Richard P. Henrick and was very much impressed. The author has submarine ops spot-on and I found only one or two technical errors, both minor.

If you've seen the film, read the book. Read it even if you haven't seen the film!

Thanks for the heads up, Bill.

For some reason, I wasn't even thinking the movie had been based on a book.

I also didn't know that "Crimson Tide" is the sports collective at the University of Alabama; I thought the title was a reference to bloody seas or something similiar... very clever title, if ya ask me
