I just came back from visiting my parents and found Cold is the Sea on my dad's bookshelf and borrowed it from him. I'll let you know how it is when I finish it.

Dust on the Sea:
The USS under Rich goes into the Yellow Sea on a wolfpack operation in early 1945.
I liked it quite well, especially since it is much more compact than the first one, as the action is compressed into a single war patrol

Cold is the Sea:
Rich and one of his former officers go rescuing a Polaris sub commanded by another former officer of Rich, that is stuck under the polar ice.
Set around early to mid 1960s.
Didnt really like this one.

I would also recommend his "Submarine!" which is of his own account on the Trigger, as well as the true stories of various other subs.

The library I'm at has a copy of his autobiography, Salt & Steel. It's on my list.

Someone just gave me a copy of that in hardcover not too long ago. His wife ws apparently making him thin out his collection. I've been meaning to start reading it.
