Fiction Sub/Naval books.
Looking for some good ones to add to my collection. I'd prefer WW2, Cold War, or Modern.
I have: SSN Silent Service Seawolf Class Submarine U-137 Red Storm Rising Hunt for Red October I think that is it.

Dust on the Sea (1972), further WWII patrols,
and Cold is the Sea (1978), set in 1961 aboard a nuclear sub. Supposedly CITS includes some of his experiences transitioning to nuclear boats. He was the CO of USS TRITON when she did the first submerged circumnavigation. Tom |

I picked up 'To Kill The Potemkin' yesterday which is supposed to be good.
DiMercurio is usually entertaining. |

Nimitz Class
Kilo Class HMS Unseen All by Patrick Robinson, they are quite good reads and better than his later work. |

If you want some good material in a photo-journalism style book, I recommend "U-Boat War" by Lothar Buchhelm... You can find it on Amazon under "Buchhelm" alongside Das Boot
