More About This Book

Overview

In The Early Morning Hours Of October 24, 1944, the legendary U.S. Navy submarine Tang was hit by one of its own faulty torpedoes. The survivors of the explosion struggled to stay alive one hundred and eighty feet beneath the surface, while the Japanese dropped deadly depth charges from above. With their air supply running out, some of the crew chose to make a daring ascent through the escape hatch. In the end, just nine of the original eighty-man crew survived. For those who did, it was the beginning a far greater ordeal.

    Great Thriller

    Book is great thriller from the submarine service. It shows the heroism by our submariners. Also it shows there courage when taken pow. At the end of the book are interesting facts about the Hiroshima bomb which was dropped while the men were still in there pow camps. Also the men were in pow camp with Captian Boyington from Baa Baa Black sheep fame. A must and fast read book.
