On 12 August 1943, on Midway Island, Lt. Cdr. I. J. Galantin took command of the fleet submarine USS Halibut. For the next fourteen months, Galantin and his officers and crew would play their part in the unrelenting attack on Japan's navy and merchant marine. But it was in Luzon Strait in November 1944 that the submarine and its crew underwent their greatest ordeal. Detected and driven down while attacking a decoy, Halibut was subjected to an assault of appalling ferocity. Badly damaged, the crippled sub and crew endured hours of desperate maneuvering and helpless waiting before the enemy finally gave up. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

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. ( )
