O'Kane wrote two books one was about the Wahoo it is called "Wahoo: The Patrols of America's Most Famous World War II Submarine" O'Kane spent much time on this boat but obviously was not aboard when she was lost but he does his best to estimate her last patrol and hed have the best idea seeing as he was the XO for Morton.

The other book is called "Clear the Bridge" it is about the USS Tang which was O'Kanes boat she was lost to a circle runner but O'Kane a few others survived.Both books go into great detail the methods used by O'Kane and Morton while on patrol and they stayed in one place rarely.

"Thunder Below" is another excellent book written by a submarine commander Gene Fulckey who received a Medal of Honor for his exploits his book is very detailed as well.Fluckey who clearly from reading the book was a very good officer and cared greatly for his men and defends both O'Kane and Morton who had bad reputations with some war is war people die even when you make the correct choices and neither man made any obviously huge errors in judgment it was just a better day for the Japanese that day.

Personally I after reading these books largely used the same tactics and I had a lot of fun doing so therefore ever since then that is how I play.It seems to me that most of the successful boats generally searched actively most of the time but if the situation warranted they might stay immobile that can be very useful in some situations like if you are near a cost line and seeking a ship hugging the coast staying stationary is wise because you know generally where the vessel is going to be this tactic is also useful in several locations in Japanese home waters.
