Written well, this book is easy to read. The skipper of USS Halibut describes his career and the service aboard. The Halibut took service during the second world war in the Pacific ocean, aginst the Japanese navy.
After reading this book I was left with the impression the the Japanese did not have such a strong navy at all, I think that the author downplayed they role and abilities a bit too much.
Also the problems with the early models of torpedos are described, something I did not find in previous books I read.
I would say, rad it, but only if you are interested in submarines or in submariners.
