New book review by RedOctober1984

Quote:

Captain William J. Ruhe describes life on a US Fleet Boat very vividly in his book. He kept a journal during his time on Fleet Boats during World War II. This book is based off of the journal he kept while he was on the S-37, USS Seadragon, and USS Crevalle.

Read the full review here.

Good job, Red

Damn good review RedOctober!

Really? I had wondered if it wasn't good enough. I had never written a review before this one.

Neal, it feels pretty darn awesome to see my writing on the subsim front page.

Thanks for the opportunity and i'd gladly do it again if you asked.

@Red Good read,

I agree. Great read.

Ruhe had some refreshingly frank opinions of the boats he served on and the men he served with and under.

Coincidently, I just started reading this. It's great so far.

Don't anybody tell me how it ends.
