Take Her Deep: A Submarine Against Japan In World War II

Galatin, commanding officer of the USS Halibut and one of the few submariners to reach four-star rank, has written an outstanding analytical, self-critical history. Beginning with the early war patrols, he recounts the sub’s problems with defective torpedoes, etc. The commander of the USS Halibut gives a graphic account of her wartime career, in which she was subjected to a prolonged depth-charge attack of such appalling ferocity, that although she managed to survive, it was her last mission, being damaged to severely that she was sent home for good. pp. 262 illusts endpp maps #1219 (NO dustjacket.)
