Submarine Stories Recollections from the Diesel Boats

"Culled from many never-before-published narratives and oral histories conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Naval Institute, Submarine Stories presents nearly five dozen first-person accounts from men who were involved with gasoline- and diesel-powered submarines during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The story of these boats - their technological evolution and tactical value - is also the story of the men who went to sea in them. The accounts illustrate the human aspects of serving in diesel boats: the training, operations in peacetime and war, liberty exploits, humorous sidelights, and special feelings of bonding and camaraderie that grew among shipmates."--BOOK JACKET.Stillwell, Paul is the author of 'Submarine Stories Recollections from the Diesel Boats', published 2007 under ISBN 9781591148418 and ISBN 1591148413.
