Fiction Sub/Naval books.

Looking for some good ones to add to my collection. I'd prefer WW2, Cold War, or Modern.

I have:
SSN
Silent Service Seawolf Class
Submarine U-137
Red Storm Rising
Hunt for Red October

I think that is it.

Das Boot
Run Silent, Run Deep (and its sequels)
Up Periscope
Pride Runs Deep
On The Beach

That's just off the top of my head.

RSRD has sequels?

Dust on the Sea (1972), further WWII patrols,
and Cold is the Sea (1978), set in 1961 aboard a nuclear sub.

Supposedly CITS includes some of his experiences transitioning to nuclear boats. He was the CO of USS TRITON when she did the first submerged circumnavigation.

I picked up 'To Kill The Potemkin' yesterday which is supposed to be good.

DiMercurio is usually entertaining.

Nimitz Class
Kilo Class
HMS Unseen

All by Patrick Robinson, they are quite good reads and better than his later work.

If you want some good material in a photo-journalism style book, I recommend "U-Boat War" by Lothar Buchhelm... You can find it on Amazon under "Buchhelm" alongside Das Boot
