Less than an hour from her destination, after six months at sea and 20,000 miles, U-859 was sunk by a British submarine, carrying the 67 men in her crew to the bottom of the Malacca Straits. Only 20 men were able to swim up to life from 50 meters of water. One of those men, Arthur Baudzus, has taken those real events and used them as the framework for this exciting and insightful novel of men at war.

Dangerous Ground by Larry Bond
List Price: $25.95 - $17.13 - $8.82
Calling to mind such undersea techno-thrillers as Clancy's The Hunt for Red October and Hagberg's By Dawn's Early Light, this latest outing by Bond, a former naval officer turned bestselling military suspense author (Larry Bond's First Team, etc.), is an edge-of-the-seat yarn about an aging nuclear submarine on a secret mission to Russian waters. Using his senator uncle's political clout, Lt. (j.g.) Jerry Mitchell-a former pilot permanently grounded thanks to a wrist injury sustained in a freak carrier crash-has found his way into submarine training, where, among the other basic skills, he becomes an expert on the Manta, a robot device used for underwater exploration. Cmdr. Lowell Hardy, veteran skipper of the Memphis, a nuclear sub long overdue for decommissioning, is given orders to take Dr. Joanna Patterson from the President's Advisory Science Board and her comely young assistant, Dr. Emily Davis, into Russian waters to look for evidence of illegal disposal of nuclear waste. Mitchell's alleged political pull and the presence of women aboard create unrest among an already unhappy crew. Somewhat predictably, the mission uncovers a major threat to world security and the suspense cranks up when the Russians learn they've been found out. Despite an obligatory surfeit of naval alphabetese and a muster of trite maritime stereotypes with seabags full of childish personality conflicts, this is an engaging read. Review "Dangerous Ground is a great submarine novel. When I grow up I want to write like Larry Bond."--Stephen Coonts
"Larry Bond's intimate knowledge of a submarine's technical details is matched by his understanding of human nature, and he combines fascinating characters with captivating technology to keep you turning the pages. Larry Bond is a master of his craft, and Dangerous Ground is the best submarine novel yet!"-Walter J. Boyne, New York Times bestselling author of Operation Iraqi Freedom

ANITOV
by Robert Deremier
This is a new softback book published in late 1999. The author worked in the submarine construction industry and his father served in submarines in WWII. This is a novel/fiction read of a topic that may bother some but that I felt was very readable and plausible. It involves an alternative reasoning for the loss of the Thresher. While some may question the use of the real Thresher in the book, the author says it was not his intent to impugn in any way on the memory of those who were lost but to retell their story so they would not be forgotten. The book basically is told from the Russian side of the story and will show the possible shortcomings of the shipbuilding industry. I'm sure procedures and security have been revisited at shipyards because of the book and that is great. What happens to the main Russian character in the end? Will cost you to find out. I recommend the book . This is a "can't put it down type" book. Send $18.95 to me and we'll get one to you ASAP. Check or money order.

Torpedo : A Surface Warfare Thriller
by Jeff Edwards
List Price: $19.95
* Paperback: 352 pages
* Publisher: iUniverse, Inc. (August 16, 2004)
* ISBN: 0595325327
Review:'Torpedo' really IS catchy with a story that just cannot miss. Everything that makes a good book compelling to read is found here. Nations breaking International Law. Biological attacks on the British Embassy IN the United States. Submarines being smuggled right under the noses of British ships. Ships being sunk for all the wrong reasons. And best of all: An intelligent plot that moves with all the speed of a Tomahawk Missile. I stopped counting all the times I kept asking myself, this didn't REALLY happen, did it? The realism is unprecedented and highly tension-filled -- but in a GOOD way. I have a simple barometer for determining whether or not a book is really good. If it is the first thing I think about when I get up, and the last thing on my mind when I go to bed, the book is GOOD. 'Torpedo' IS GOOD. It met my qualifications and passed with flying colors. Exciting and highly realistic, this book needs more attention and at the very least, an editor who knows that a book like this DESERVES a chance to be read by the widest audience possible that can truly appreciate good, honest, fun thrillers. Give 'Torpedo' a shot and especially if you have missed the Tom Clancy of old, this will remind you of why you read Military Thrillers in the first place. Absolutely fantastic work...and easily the best first novel since Clancy's 'Hunt For Red October'.

Fairbanks Risen
by John Foster
List Price: $39.99 - Your price $26.39 - You Save: $13.60 (34%)
* Hardcover: 646 pages--Publisher: Empty Canoe (January 30, 2005)--ISBN: 0974993360
Now Foster has taken his experiences and knowledge to create a military thriller, Fairbanks Risen, which chronicles the efforts of an ambitious few seeking to alter the balance of world power. In the tradition of Tom Clancy, Foster takes the reader into the super-secret world of submarine tracking and through the halls of power as a missing Los Angeles Class U.S. Navy submarine resurfaces and commences sinking Soviet and U.S. warships in an effort to force the two superpowers into open warfare.
Taking place during the 1980s, Fairbanks Risen is a tension filled and honest look at the lifestyle of those who lived every second of every day plotting the movement of Soviet warships, submarines and aircraft and the possibilities that exist when a rogue group of men obtains one of these deadly weapons. Another aspect of the story is how intelligence gathering personnel, when they discover startling developments, get the message to be believed and acted upon by their superiors and those above them.
Approved for publication by the Assistant for Information and Personnel Security (N09N2) in the office of the highest ranking U.S. Naval Officer, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Fairbanks Risen is receiving praise from Naval Veterans as well as those in the know, including a current member of Congress. John Foster's book is an edge of the seat thrill ride for readers of all ages and backgrounds, one that educates and entertains while also showing how much we all owe to these dedicated professionals in the U.S. Navy and all the service branches.

The Keeper's Son (Josh Thurlow Novels (Paperback))
by Homer Hickam
First of a planned series
List Price: $6.99
Description:
A gutsy Coast Guard officer battles German submarines and 17 years of unfettered guilt on the North Carolina coast in 1941 and 1942 in this high adventure yarn. Hickam, the author of the memoir Rocket Boys (which was turned into the film October Sky), knows a great deal about submarine warfare in WWII, as evidenced by his 1989 nonfiction naval history, Torpedo Junction. This is the first novel of a planned series about rough and tumble Coast Guard Lt. Josh Thurlow and his unusual patrol boat crew during WWII. Josh, 31, is a career officer assigned to Killakeet Island, along North Carolina's treacherous Outer Banks. Both he and his father-the keeper of the Killakeet Lighthouse-are haunted by the loss at sea and presumed death of Josh's two-year-old baby brother 17 years earlier. Shaken from his brooding by the appearance of German U-boats, Josh must try to protect the merchant ships torpedoed every night offshore. His patrol boat is small and ill-equipped, and his crew is a wacky group of casual islanders who aren't sure they really want to fight anybody. A talented U-boat commander named Krebs becomes Josh's honored enemy, but another U-boat skipper is a far more ruthless and dangerous adversary. Josh must fight both, as well as his suspicions that his little brother may not be dead after all; the reappearance of a childhood sweetheart leavens the mix. Hickam provides a vivid and convincing portrayal of life under the sea in a U-boat, as well as on the surface in a fragile patrol boat. Well-crafted characters, gripping naval warfare and colorful island life come together in this dynamic and exciting tale.

Rogue Trident (Hardcover)--by John R. Hindinger
Price: $23.95
* Hardcover: 221 pages
* Publisher: Authorhouse (August 22, 2005)
* ISBN: 1418432490
Former officer uses sub experience to craft first novel You never know what sort of crazy ideas can be hatched while standing a watch from midnight to 4 a.m. For John Hindinger, an idea that came to him while serving aboard USS Kentucky (SSBN 737) has led him to fulfilling a nine-year goal of completing his first novel.
Hindinger was passing time by talking with others during a mid-watch in the 1990s aboard USS Kentucky (SSBN 737). He then found himself kicking around the question, how, if a Sailor lost his marbles, could he steal a submarine? The question made for some good fodder during the watch for his shipmates, but Hindinger took the question further and wrote a book based around the discussion.
''Rogue Trident'' explores the circumstances of naval officer Jake Slate, who survives an explosion on a submarine and finds himself in the middle of a politically motivated blame game. He is soon recruited by a foreign arms dealer to steal the USS Colorado and exact revenge on those who betrayed him. Writing the book has been a labor of love for Hindinger. He estimates he has written and rewritten the book 20 times over nine years and has benefited from the wisdom of two mentors. Hindinger, who is also a small business owner, worked diligently to be sure the book retained an element of realism for military readers.

# Paperback: 300 pages
# Publisher: Riverdale Electronic Books (July 31, 2004)
# ISBN: 0971220751
J. T. McDaniel has proven himself with his second submarine novel, after "With Honor In Battle". There are not that much novels about American submarines fighting in the Pacific, and anyway not describing in full detail how a boat is conceived and how life aboard develops, from the maiden trip to its exploits against the Japanese empire. McDaniel is not a former submarine sailor; he spent his tour of duty with the 101th Airborne, which is totally the wrong experience to tell about submarines. But he does it like he has been a commander all the way, and perhaps he has been in a former life. You will experience love, war and death as it happened and along the way you'll enjoy places like Hawaii, Australia and the northern hemisphere. You'll be part of the Pearl Harbor attack as well, so climb on the Bacalao and read that ever exciting book. And if you're lost with the technical stuff, at the end you'll find a nice glossary!

Hot-New-Fiction Thriller written by a (SS) Captain

Freedom's Menace
by W. Laurence Willis
Hardback-403 pages by Hot Lava Publishing/St. Louis. ISBN 0971676569. Fiction. The book introduces a character named Trevor Brice. He is a U.S. government super cop/tough guy/spy/do-it-all with a letter from the President to clear his path. Although not a submarine novel per se, the story does evolve around a Chinese submarine buried deep under a volcano in the Hawaiian Island found by a lady geologist Dr. Allison. They both go back down a sink hole beside the volocano to find out why the submarine is there. Later in the book there are a couple of chapters in which a U.S. submarine takes on a Chinese boat, one of several sitting off the U.S. coast. The Chinese government wants the U.S. to surrender to them after they destroyed a city of 25,000 in Maryland. The strong willed president puts Trevor Brice to work to solve the mystery of the submarine and then later to infiltrate China and go after their leader. The book is fast paced and exciting. I was struck by the authors attention to detail. His descriptions and use of exacting measures show a knowledge of his subject. I enjoyed the book and rate it a *** of *****. This is about as high as I go on a fiction read. It is available via Amazon.

Clear The Bridge: My Life In The Submarine Service
by Roderick Burtram
List Price: $20.99
Paperback: 147 pages--Publisher: Xlibris Corporation (April 14, 2004)--ISBN: 1413445764
This memoir is a recollection of events which occurred during a Navy career that spanned nearly forty years, mostly with the Submarine Service. The saga begins on Pearl Harbor Day, 1941, when the author was in Junior High School, and continues through teenage misadventures which laid the foundation for a Naval career.
It follows a path through Boot Camp, Basic Enlisted Submarine School and subsequent duty as a Torpedoman’s mate for ten years aboard diesel submarines; USS CORPORAL (AS 346), USS BASHAW (SSK 241) and USS SEA DEVIL (SS 400).
Following a year as a Navy Recruiter, the author was commissioned an Ensign through the Limited Duty Officer Program. His first duty as an Officer was with the Regulus Missile Program in Hawaii. Subsequent tours of duty were with U.S. Naval Submarine School, New London, Connecticut; and Staff, Commander Submarine Squadron Six, Norfolk, Va. In 1971 he was ordered to the Commissioning Crew of USS DIXON (AS 37), where he served for three years as the Weapons Repair Officer. Later tours of duty were Staff, Commander Submarine Group Five in San Diego, California and finally Staff, Commander Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, where he served three years as the Nuclear Weapons Safety Officer.
This story relates episodes good and bad at all his duty stations. It is written with wry, sometimes risque humor interspersed with sober treatment of the dangers inherent in submarining.
In 1979, Commander Burtram was re-designated as an Unrestricted Line Officer and served an additional eight years. His final tour of duty was Commanding Officer, U.S. Naval and Marine Corps Reserve Center, Bessemer, Alabama, from which he retired 1 Jan., 1988.

From Sailboats to Submarines is a personal account of the U.S. Navy submarine fleet during the 1950s and 60s, which was the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. It was a time when our submarine force was changing from diesel to nuclear powered submarines, when voyages were limited only by the endurance of the crew. It is an informative and personal account of those magnificent naval achievements that were so vital to winning the Cold War-An absorbing adventure story, with humorous anecdotes and disastrous events, spiced with romance and the experiences of a Navy family.

First Shot
by John Craddock
List Price: $24.95 - $16.47 - $8.48
Book Description:
The first-ever account of the sinking of a Japanese midget submarine, one hour before the Pearl Harbor attack.
For six decades, the sunken sub's location remained a mystery-until accidentally discovered in 2002. First Shot chronicles the stories of the recent discovery and the naval engagement sixty-four years ago, exploring one of the great what-if questions in our nation's history: If the warning signs had been heeded, would the outcome of the Japanese air attack have been different? Unheeded warnings, missed opportunities, a failure to connect the dots-more than 60 ago, America was rocked by a devastating surprise attack on its Pearl Harbor naval base, one that destroyed a big part of our nation's Pacific fleet. To this day a controversy rages over whether that attack could have or should have been detected ahead of time. In First Shot, John Craddock investigates a little-known but clear eleventh-hour warning that, had it been heeded, might have enabled the Navy's Pearl Harbor command to blunt the Japanese assault and save ships and lives. Craddock reveals that the attack plan of Japan's Admiral Yamamoto included five midget submarines, each carrying two men and two torpedoes. First Shot vividly recreates the action on the deck of the U.S.S. Ward on the morning of December 7 as the outmoded relic of an earlier war engaged a tiny, state-of-the-art undersea fighting machine. Hardcover: 288 pages - Publisher: International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press; 1 edition (October 14, 2005)

The Fleet Submarine Torpedo Data Computer (Paperback)
by Harvey G. Cragon (Author), Author (Editor, Illustrator)
List Price: $22.00 Product Description The U.S Fleet Submarines of WW II were equipped with Torpedo Data Computers that generated gyro angles for the torpedoes. These angles provided steering information to the torpedoes that allowed them to lead and intercept the target; similar to a football quarterback leading a running receiver to catch the pass. The first chapters of this book describe the early history of gyro guided torpedo development, early torpedo tactics and hand-held steering calculators. Other early chapters briefly describe the development of the Torpedo Data Computers, other components of its torpedo fire control system, and the arithmetic components of the Torpedo Data Computer. A Torpedo Data Computer performed two major functions: the Position Keeper function and the Angle Solver function. The Position Keeper predicted the present position of the target from prior periscope observations, estimated range to the target, target course, submarine speed, and submarine course. The Angle Solver computed the gyro angle based on the predicted present target and some of the parameters used by the Position Keeper. The characteristics of the torpedo type were also inputs to the Angle Solver. Different torpedo types had different running speeds and turning radii and behaved differently at different submarine depths. The Torpedo Data Computer was an electromechanical analogue computer occupying a space of approximately 30 cubic feet and housed in the submarine s conning tower. The geometries of the Position Keeper and the Angle Solver functions are illustrated along with the derivations of the Position Keeper and Angle Solver equations and their flow charts. Photographs of all the input cranks and output dials of a Torpedo Data Computer are shown with an explanation of their purpose. Most of the research material for this book consisted of primary sources, such as Navy manuals from the years 1940-44. Photographs of the TDC were taken on the USS Razorback and USS Torch. An appendix briefly describes the WW II torpedo computers of Britain, Germany, and Japan.

Book Description Naval warfare in the Pacific changed completely with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The strategic emphasis shifted from battleships to much more lethal, far-ranging weapons systems; one of these was the submarine. This book details the design and development, classes, weapons and equipment, tactics and operational history of the US submarine in World War II. Detailed tables, photographs, and superb color plates depict the force that had an effect far beyond its size - the submarine accounted for 55% of all Japanese shipping losses, despite suffering the highest percentage loss of any unit of the United State Armed Forces in World War II

Ghost of War: The Sinking of the Awa Maru and Japanese-American Relations, 1945-1995 (Hardcover)
by Roger Dingman
List Price: $39.95
Hardcover: 373 pages -- Publisher: Naval Institute Press (November 1997)
ISBN: 1557501599
Professor Dingman spins a compelling narrative of the accidental sinking of a Japanese merchant ship sailing under safe passage negotiated clandestinely by the U.S. and Japan during the last part of WWII. Much wider implications include causal factors relating to the whole issue of the nature of the war in the Pacific as presented in such works as Craig Cameron's American Samurai, John Dower's War without Mercy, Gerald Linderman's World within War and the rest of the literature on racism and predatory warfare. Beyond the nature of war, however, Dr Dingman deals with the myths that linger, especially the way societies recreate their memories of war. Almost as soon as the sinking occurred the creation of different, divergent public memories of the incident in both countries would spoil the well to such an extent that a rift between private and public factions in both would allow a third party, China (PRC), to reap the benefits of salvage. Here the works on the creation of public myth, like Marling and Wetenhall's Iwo Jima, resonate. The multi-archival approach Dr Dingman can use because of his fluency in Japanese is employed at not only the highest levels, in the tradition of Ernest May, Akira Iriye, and Waldo Heinrichs, but also at the level of the common man employed by diplomatic historians like Michael Hunt who in his seminal The Making of a Special Relationship, explores popular culture as well. A gripping tale, heard to put down, this book has lessons for us not only about World War Two, but the lingering myths and malaise of Vietnam. More Info/Pricing/Availability/Ordering HERE

Power Shift : The Transition to Nuclear Power in the U.S. Submarine Force As Told by Those Who Did It (Paperback)
by Dan Gillcrist
List Price: $20.95
Book Description:
Power Shift is the first comprehensive account of the US Navy’s Submarine Force transition from diesel to nuclear power. It represented the biggest, most costly and disruptive technological change in naval history. This was all done against the backdrop of intense Cold War operations where US submarines played a critical role in maintaining the peace. The story is told by the people who were part of the power shift. From seamen to admirals they tell the stories of how the technological and cultural changes affected them. About the Author The author is from Long Island, NY, the youngest of nine children. He, along with his four brothers and their Dad, all served in the Armed Forces. Upon turning 18, Dan enlisted in the Navy and volunteered for submarine duty. After a year of various schools he reported aboard U.S.S. Barbero SSG–317 for the remaining three years of his enlistment. He left the boat in Pearl Harbor in 1961 as TM2(SS). After college he became a salesman for IBM followed by working at Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems (EDS). While at EDS he became involved in the political world working as an advanceman for Nixon and a scheduler for them Congressman George H.W. Bush in his race for the US Senate. In 1971 Dan entered the municipal bond business where he still works. He lives in Santa Fe, NM with his wife of 45 years, Barbara.

by Robert M. Grant
List Price: $32.95, Your Price: $23.07, You Save: $9.88 (30%)
Hardcover: 184 pages, Publisher: United States Naval Inst.; (April 2004) Book Description The story of how British naval intelligence was able to break German naval codes in World War I is fully explored by the noted U-boat historian Robert Grant. Examining radio interception records, telegrams, and the records of the Admiralty salvage department, Grant has unearthed an amazing tale of resourcefulness and danger. Along with collecting cipher information from many differing sources, intelligence personnel in Room 40, the nerve center in the Admiralty, sent Royal Navy divers to collect data from U-boat wrecks around Great Britain and Ireland and had ground crews comb through the wreckage of crashed zeppelins. Their efforts paid off. With their new-found insights into U-boat operations, the "men of Room 40" could hunt down and destroy U-boats at sea. This intriguing look at early successes in deciphering U-boat codes is sure to join the author's previous work as a standard reference on U-boat warfare. It includes an updated list of German submarines sunk or interned. 184 pages. 20 photographs. 3 line drawings. Hardcover. 81/2 x 121/2 inches. More Info/Pricing/Availability/Ordering HERE

"Johnson exhaustively explores everything known about the vessel's final year-and-a-half of operation. An engrossing documentation of haunting, grisly what-ifs." (Kirkus Reviews)
"The magnitude of the tragedy of the USS Scorpion is matched only by the depth of the mystery surrounding her loss. Stephen Johnson has done a remarkable job of shining new light on this dark moment in U.S. submarine history."- Sherry Sontag, co-author, Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage
"Stephen Johnson has crafted a forensic masterpiece that leads the reader back through time to unravel the gnawing enigma of the tragic 1968 loss of the nuclear attack submarine USS Scorpion. Sifting through a maze of conflicting theories, he meticulously lays out a tale of undersea detectives searching for conclusive evidence to one of the most baffling mysteries of the cruel sea." -- Rear Admiral Thomas Evans, author, analyst specializing in submarine history and operations, and former officer on the Scorpion
"The manuscript arrived with yesterday's afternoon mail. I finished reading it by nightfall. It's that good! Thoroughly researched, impeccably documented, with an appealing and literate style, Silent Steel should become essential reading for submarine enthusiasts and for anyone else who enjoys an engaging and informative yarn." -A.J. Hill, author of Under Pressure:The Final Voyage Of Submarine S-Five
"What happened to the USS Scorpion" The question has vexed submariners for almost four decades. Now, with meticulous research and incredible attention to detail, Stephen Paul Johnson examines and dissects one of the most tragic and mysterious submarine accidents in U.S. Navy history." -Douglas Waller, author of Big Red: Inside the Secret World of a Trident Nuclear Submarine
"Silent Steel captures the intense mystery and trauma of the Scorpion sinking and explains the background leading to her loss in the words of many of her former crew and their families. The thoroughly researched story is a must read for all serious history buffs." -- Peter Huchthausen, author of October Fury, America's Splendid Little Wars, Shadow Voyage,and co-author of Hostile Waters

Tales from Da Bronx Submariner (Paperback)
by Donald J. Kamuf
List Price: $27.95--Price: $18.45--You Save: $9.50 (34%)
Author Don "MUFF" Kamuf takes his readers on a whirlwind tour of his life as a Navy submariner . . . From his experience growing up in the Bronx and going to Catholic schools,Kamuf joins the U.S. Navy and enters submarine school at Groton Connecticut-a decision that determines his course for the rest of his life.

He tells of his experiences serving on the USS Bang SS 385, the USS Sea Poacher SS 406, and the USS Abraham Lincoln SSBN 602, which made patrols in the Atlantic Ocean. After leaving the Abraham Lincoln, Kamuf was sent to submarine school to teach others how to "make air." He then served on the USS Dace SSN 607, making many trips around the world. After that, he worked in submarine repair on the USS Fulton AS 11 and as a planner at the Submarine Support Facility in Groton, Connecticut.

Retiring from the Navy, Kamuf was hired by General Dynamics Electric Boat as a construction engineer. This lasted almost twenty years until he retired. In the last chapter, Kamuf tells about his struggles as an alcoholic, the pain, and his eventual triumph.

Rig Ship for Ultra Quiet
by Andrew Karam
List Price: $14.95
Paperback: 313 pages--Publisher: Sid Harta Publishers; (May 1, 2002)
I saw this book on the submarine list on Amazon.com, and decided to pick it up. I am very glad I did! This is an outstanding personal account of the author's time as an enlisted man on the USS Plunger, a 594 (Permit) class attack submarine, in the late 1980's. The author has written a "semi-fictional" account, based on a mix of his experiences and actual events during his underway periods on Plunger. He carefully avoids classified material, yet manages to convey a real flavor for the complex technical equipment and "interesting" people on board a nuclear submarine. We follow him, as a senior enlisted man, on the various duty stations in engineering, and learn a fair amount about the nuclear and steam propulsion systems along the way. Various operations are also detailed, including a tense trail of a Delta IV class SSBN in the Sea of Okhotsk, an area considered by the USSR to be "territorial waters".

Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Book Description:In February 1945, the Japanese High Command sent four submarines on a secret recovery mission to the Philippines. An American submarine wolfpack was sent to intercept them. During the night, the submarine USS Batfish engaged the enemy. And in the ensuing skirmish, a fully armed torpedo lodged in a firing tube. With the enemy alerted to their presence, and their own torpedo threatening to destroy them, the crew of the Batfish entered into a 72-hour battle. In an astonishing display of skill, fortitude, and mariner's luck, the Batfish not only survived, but they destroyed a record-breaking three enemy submarines in a single engagement. This is the never-before-told story of the submarine, the captain, and the crew of the USS Batfish, and a testament to the bravery of those who endured hell under the waves.

His first novel, The Forever Season, won the Alabama Library Association's "Fiction of the Year" award.
Book Description
She looked like just about like the other diesel powered, Balao-class submarines crafted in the '40s. But there the similarity ends. Because the Archerfish--named for a fish that kills its victims with a lethal blast of water from below--won a unique, heroic place in military history and the memories of her crew members. Here is her story: from her assembly in New England, her dedication at the hand of Eleanor Roosevelt, her service in World War II, where she broke the back of the Japanese Navy and sank the largest ship ever sunk by a submarine, to the details of her critical role in the Cold War, crisscrossing the oceans for six years to foil Soviet naval intelligence. Here too, is the story of her officers and enlsited men, who waited years to serve on the Archerfish. In their own words, these men tell how, against all odds, they sent a Japanese aircraft carrier to the ocean floor . . . served in peacetime in the Navy's only all bachelor crew . . . steered their ship into exotic ports all over the world . . . welcomed B-girls, Japanese war veterans, royalty, Playboy bunnies and a goat aboard ship, with equal hospitality. As they helped their sub outlast fires and even an earthquake, they worked hard, played hard and lived even harder. An extraordinary real-life odyssey, Archerfish is a vivid, unforgettable portrait of submariners' life.

Black Submariners In The United States Navy, 1940-1975
by Glenn A. Knoblock
List Price: $45.00--Price: $45.00 and this item ships for FREE.
Book Description:
For as long as an American naval force has existed, black sailors have served itwith bravery, distinction, and little or no recognition. They have since earned praise for service in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War, and more recently, they were integral to the development of the U.S. Submarine Service. Their roles limited by segregation, black submariners nonetheless were a key element of the "Silent Service" throughout World War II. With desegregation came expanded opportunities, and black submariners witnessed the birth and evolution of the nuclear-powered submarine, and some of the tensest moments of the Cold War. These men paved the way for those who followed-their contributions deserve recognition, and their stories deserve to be told.

This exploration of the role of African American submariners chronicles their service from World War II through the Cold War era. An historical overview of black sailors and the evolution of the Steward's Branch, to which black sailors were eventually restricted, precede descriptions of becoming a steward and a submariner, and of life as a submariner during World War II. An account of black submariners in post-war service during desegregation, the development of the nuclear submarine, and throughout the Cold War follows. Oral histories of over fifty black submariners who served in World War II and post-war form the heart of the book. Photographs of the men profiled, including wartime photographs, complement the text. Appendices outline the naval steward rating system, list all black submarine stewards serving in World War II, top stewards by number of war patrols, and those lost or killed during wartime service. Rear Admiral Melvin G. Williams, Jr., submarine fleet commander and son of one of the men profiled, provides a foreword.

Shadow Divers : The True Adventure of Two Americans Who Risked Everything to Solve One of the Last Mysteries of World War II by Robert Kurson
List Price: $26.95 Price: $16.17 You Save: $10.78 (40%)
Hardcover: 400 pages--Publisher: Random House; (June 29, 2004)
Editorial Reviews
This superlative journalistic narrative tells of John Chatterton and Rich Kohler, two deep-sea wreck divers who in 1991 dove to a mysterious wreck lying at the perilous depth of 230 feet, off the coast of New Jersey. Both had a philosophy of excelling and pushing themselves to the limit; both needed all their philosophy and fitness to proceed once they had identified the wreck as a WWII U boat. As Kurson, a writer for Esquire, narrates in this debut, the two divers next undertook a seven-year search for the Uboat's identity inside the wreck, in a multitude of archives and in a host of human memories. Along the way, Chatterton's diving cost him a marriage, and Kohler's love for his German heritage helped turn him into a serious U-boat scholar. The two lost three of their diving companions on the wreck and their mentor, Bill Nagle, to alcoholism. (Chowdhury's The Last Dive, from HarperPerennial in 2002, covers two of the divers' deaths.) Thesuccessful completion of their quest fills in a gap in WWII history-the fate of the Type IX Uboat U-869. Chatterton and Kohler's success satisfied them and a diminishing handful of U-boat survivors. While Kurson doesn't stint on technical detail, lovers of any sort of adventure tale will certainly absorb the author's excellent characterizations, and particularly his balance in describing the combat arm of the Third Reich. Felicitous cooperation between author and subject rings through every page of this rare insightful action narrative. If the publishers are dreaming of another Perfect Storm, they may get their wish.

From Booklist
Who knew that German submarine U-869, long thought to have been sunk off Gibraltar in 1945, was actually sunk by its own torpedo less than 60 miles from Brielle, New Jersey? No one--until 1991, when two death-cheating wreck-divers began exploring the boat's wrecked hull, 230 feet underwater. Death-cheating? In the seven years between its discovery and its positive identification, U-869 claimed the lives of three experienced wreck divers and scared away many more. Though Kurson's historical...

Galloping Ghost: The Extraordinary Life of Submarine Captain Eugene Fluckey (Hardcover) by Carl Lavo (Author)
List Price: $28.95 Your price: $22.00 You Save: $6.95 (24%)
Product Description
Eugene Fluckey was one of the great naval heroes of World War II. His exploits as captain of the submarine USS Barb revolutionized undersea warfare and laid the groundwork for the nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine fleet that today is the primary deterrent and capability of the United States against nuclear attack. Now a retired rear admiral living in Annapolis, Maryland, he is the most decorated living American, having earned numerous presidential, congressional, and military honors, including the Medal of Honor and four Navy Crosses. In the war against Japan, Fluckey fired the first ballistic missiles from a submarine, sank more tonnage than any other U.S. submarine skipper; including an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, a destroyer, and blew up a train after landing submariners-turned-saboteurs on mainland Japan in 1945. The title of this biography is the legendary submariner s nickname, "Galloping Ghost, " a reference to the hit-and-run tactics that left his enemies baffled about the direction of his attacks.

Here is the admiral's story, told with the exclusive access to Admiral Fluckey's personal papers and based on interviews with him, his family, Barb shipmates, official Navy documents, and the recollections of his contemporaries. The author, Carl LaVO, who spent years researching the subject, offers not only a dramatic, action-filled account of Fluckey's wartime experiences, but also a lively description of his life before and after that captures the infectious optimism contributing to his many successes.

LaVO describes meeting the ninety-year-old retired admiral: With a full shock of hair, trim build, natty clothes, and buoyant demeanor, Fluckey looked much younger and still displayed his characteristic dry wit, despite the fact that Alzheimer's disease had robbed him of many memories. When asked about a long-forgotten episode of his life, the admiral replied with a twinkle in his eyes and hearty laugh, I don t know. You tell me. LaVO took up his challenge and with this book presents Admiral Fluckey's full biography.

About the Author
Carl LaVO, a graduate of the University of Florida at Gainesville, is the author of Slade Cutter: Submarine Warrior and Back from the Deep: The Strange Story of the Sister Subs Squalus and Sculpin, both published by the Naval Institute Press. He has also written many articles for the Institute's two magazines, Proceedings and Naval History, and a variety of general-interest periodicals. His television appearances include the History Channel series Silent Service and Man, Moment and Machine.

An award-winning journalist, LaVO is assistant managing editor of the Courier Times in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife Mary Anne. He is an experienced scuba diver and has explored many of the water-filled caverns and subterranean rivers of Florida, exceeding depths of two hundred feet. A childhood interest in the atomic submarine Nautilus and the book Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne gave him a lifelong curiosity about the Silent Service and undersea exploration.

Review:
Whenever sailors are confronted with "unsolvable" problems-be it a fouled anchor or paint that won't dry-they often throw up their hands and exclaim, "We'd better ask the Chief." That refrain, heard for generations throughout the Navy, is the theme for Jack Leahy's newest book. Written at sea, his book provides a compelling picture of the Chief Petty Officer's community in the U.S. Navy. As a guest of the Chief Petty Officer's mess aboard USS George Washington during Operation Enduring Freedom, Leahy was granted complete and unfettered access to all areas of the massive carrier and the other ships in her battle group. He interviewed nearly one hundred Navy Chiefs from the aviation, surface, submarine, and special warfare communities and recounts their stories of daily life at sea. In doing so, he presents the true backbone of the modern Navy: the wisdom, character, and dignity of the Chief Petty Officer's community. This book of contemporaneous oral history follows the format that proved so successful with Leahy's earlier book on Navy boot camp. Color photographs help bring the story to life.
