Captain XO clashes aboard WW II subs

Just wondering if anyone has read about clashes between the Captains and XO's on US subs in WW II that escalated into showdown type situations while on patrol. I know there were clashes no doubt , remember O Kane talking about clashes with the first CO of Wahoo but he did not push the subject too far and ultimately vindicated when the CO was relieved.

I find it inevitable that a few situations occur given the personalities on board a sub combined with the stress and close quarters, esp in WW II.
