I don't know what it is about submarines. I really enjoy reading about the history of submarines, especially during World War II, and I also enjoy reading submarine fiction. Yet I would never want to serve on a submarine. Perhaps it is something about being in the ocean depths.
This novel had all the cliches and the standard characters you would find in a Hollywood movie about submarines, but I loved reading it.
I've also read the book about the giant Japanese aircraft carrier which, according to the author, was part of the background for writing this book, although the Japanese ship depicted in this novel was not a carrier.
Sadly, the American submarine service had the highest casualty rate of all the American forces in World War II.
Many American submariners enjoyed the hospitality of my mother's mother's home in Sydney, Australia, during the War. My mother remembered so many of them who visited between patrols, many of whom never came back from that last patrol.
