Operation Drumbeat - the story of the U Boat campaign on the American east coast in 1942. Focuses on U-123 and Reinhard Hardegen.

Sea Assault - the story of the sinking of the aircraft carrier Shinano by the USS Archerfish.

I have a couple of suggestions:

The Fleet The Gods Forgot by W.G. Winslow
Submarine Diary by Corwin Mendenhall

The first book covers the naval retreat right after Pearl Harbor and describes some very dark days of WWII.

The second is a personal journal kept by a young submarine officer aboard a U.S. fleet boat and his WWII Career.

Check them out! You'll enjoy them, too.
