Got nothing on search, so I thought I'd start this. These books have a 4.5+ rating on different sites.

Thunder Below!: The USS Barb Revolutionizes Submarine Warfare in World War II (an ebook version is available)

Submarine! by Edward beach. (ebook available)

Clear the Bridge!: The War Patrols of the U.S.S. Tang

DVD's
Silent Victory- Submarine Warfare in WWII- Documentary

Submarines: The Silent Service in World War II- Documentary

Destination Tokyo- movie starring Cary Grant

Operation Pacific- John Wayne

Run Silent Run Deep- Clark Gable

Up Periscope- James Garner

Add your favorites and I'll copy and paste them here. Please limit it to US subs. You can post u-boat related stuff in the SH5 forum

There's one more movie you can add;

Torpedo Run - Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine

Also a novel which I just finished awhile back.

USS Seawolf - Submarine Raider Of The Pacific.

by Gerold Frank, James Horan & J.M. Eckberg
