I picked up this book in the store for the USS Pampinito on Mechanicrawl02008. My grandfather sailed in subs in the Pacific theater in WWII. I was interested in learning more about what his day to day life on the sub must have been like, as he was never one to tell sea tales. This memoir, enriched with the stories of other men serving on the USS Guardfish and USS Extractor gives an idea of the rhythm of difficulty and threat to which the men who served lived and worked.
