I would like to interject on all of these thought-provoking topics. First off, what is the name of this book by Mr. O'Kane?

Every skipper has different methods that could work given the circumstances. I believe that every situation is different and requires the ability to adapt. That being said, sometimes surface patrol courses are more effective than submerged static/dynamic sonar sweeps and vice-versa.

Captain Morton of the USS Wahoo took a sub that was once commanded by a cautious man who lacked proper incentive and aggression, and turned it into a tonnage logging, effective war machine. Mr. Morton spent a lot of time actively patrolling on the surface. Granted his crew paid the ultimate price for their bravery and aggression, but they also are listed in the records as one of the most successful submarines of the war.
