Many months ago, I asked the forum for recommendations on submarine books. This one was mentioned several times.

It is pretty amazing. Non-fiction that reads like a decent novel. I knew bits and pieces (enough to be interested and ask for book names), but I never knew all the details this book provides.

Very cool. Thanks for the recommendations whomever you were.

I love seeing/reading this type of stuff, but always wonder how "patriotic" it is to publish things that might piss off our enemies.

I have the same quandry about news journalists who investigate and publish info that probably should have remained top secret. I think the news people used to lay off stuff that might have embarassed our country or president in the old days - not anymore.

Can recommend "The Lost Submarine".

Was written by a teacher that my wife had in elementary school, Nancy Kenney.

True story about a WW2 sub lost and found in the Pacific.

Was a particularly interesting read for me as I also grew up in the same area so knew many of the family names and specific people mentioned in the book.

I read this book many years ago. Truth is more interesting than fiction in this case.

One of my favorites as well. I started on it and couldn't put it down. Truth IS better than fiction isn't it?

Operation Drumbeat by Michael Gannon.
Shows how scary the opening days of WWII actually were.

Investigate Operation Azorian and the book by the same name. Operation Azorian was an attempt to raise a sunken Soviet nuclear submarine from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It was considered to be as challenging as the moon landing.
