Synopsis

Recounts war experiences and participation in the setting of a world's record for longest submerged voyage

Review

"The U.S. Navy's most innovative, non-conforming, daring skipper tells in intimate detail a gripping and exciting story―unashamed in sorrow, proud in record-setting accomplishment, rich in humor. Great!"―Adm. I.J. Galantin, USN (Ret.), author of Take Her Deep

"An authoritative, useful, and interesting view of Pacific Ocean submarine operations."―American Historical Review

"Provides the layperson with an interesting, exciting, and ultimately satisfying account of submarine service, both during WWII and the Korean War."―Choice

"An extraordinary story . . . Schratz is a superb observer!"―Friday Review of Defense Literature

"An ebullient, consistently engrossing memoir of submarine service in WWII's Pacific theater and during the Korean conflict."―Kirkus Reviews

"An action-filled account of the wartime operations of the Navy submarine fleet."―McCormick (SC) Messenger

"Serves as a moving testimonial to the many brave men with whom he served."―Northern Mariner

"A commanding and well told tale . . . . Schratz succeeds in making wartime submarining come alive for nonsubmariners."―Shipmate

"Fascinating . . . A delight to read not only because it is well written but because it is so very real seen through the eyes of a completely involved observer."―Submarine Review

"Schratz's description of life aboard a submarine is one of the single best accounts of the "Silent Service" during World War II and the Korean War.The book is highly recommended."―Leo J. Daugherty III, World War Quarterly
