I consider O'Kane as one of the better writers of submarine warfare. This was a very entertaining and informative book. ( )

Excellent.

4784. Clear the Bridge! The War Patrols of the U.S.S. Tang, by Richard H. O'Kane Rear Admiral, U.S.N. (Ret.) (read 15 Dec 2010) This book is by the captain of the U.S.S Tang, which had an illustrious career in the Pacific War. All five patrols are related in detail, complete with lots of technical detail. One who served on subs would enjoy it more than I did. Some of it was repetitious though one must admire the men and the outstanding success they had, albeit the end is dolorous since the sub was sunk by its own torpedo! ( )

The best book about the submarine war in the Pacific I have read. ( )
