"The Rendezvous!" depicts German U-boats departing from Kiel in 1942 to meet and form a wolfpack in the waters off Newfoundland. "Sub Sailor's Spree" follows an American naval officer who manages to arrange shore leave in Honolulu despite serious charges against him, only to discover through a chance encounter that one man alone—Petty Officer Ketzak—was responsible for all the incidents that had resulted in his arrest; Commander Conlon later confronts the sailor about the psychological pressure that drove him to confess to crimes he did not commit. The final pages depict survivors of a naval engagement being rescued and transported to Kiel as prisoners of war.
Chief Gunner's Mate Skip McGraw and his underwater demolition team are handpicked for an extraordinary assignment: to pilot two specially built torpedoes twelve miles up a Japanese river to destroy a heavily fortified target during World War II. With only three weeks of training under Lieutenant Commander Catalano and a tight window to execute the mission, the four frogmen must navigate enemy-patrolled waters and rely on their nerve and precision to complete the operation.
In 1942, German U-boats rendezvousing among sunken wrecks off Newfoundland thought they'd found the perfect hidden gathering spot—until Allied forces discovered their secret meeting place and set an ingenious trap. With four submarines caught in shallow water and unable to dive, a fierce gun battle erupts as the U-boats are forced to fight back from the surface. This tense naval clash hinges on one commander's calculated gamble to turn the enemy's own routine against them.
When a brilliant scientist named Nicholas Sruba develops a revolutionary rocket fuel behind the Iron Curtain and is coerced into returning to his captors, the U.S. Navy gets an unexpected chance to prove the worth of an experimental weapon—a midget submarine that military brass had previously dismissed as a joke. Lt. J.J. Slade and Ensign Alvin Cullen volunteer to pilot the minisub across a frozen lake to extract Sruba from a heavily guarded lab, banking on the vessel's uncanny silence and compact design to slip past enemy patrols. What starts as a desperate gamble becomes the minisub's finest hour.
A submarine sailor driven by the loss of two brothers at Pearl Harbor volunteers for the most dangerous patrol imaginable—straight into Yokohama Harbor—where his grit under fire and unflinching courage in the face of enemy attacks and crippling depth charges will test the limits of his endurance. When Kezak finally returns home to Honolulu, the pressure of war and vengeance explodes in an unexpected way that lands him before the Provost-Marshal, forcing his commanding officer to make a case for mercy. Will the Major grant leniency to a man who's already given everything in service to his ship and crew?
Commander Tim Conlon and the crew of the American submarine Moray are rammed and sunk by a Nazi destroyer during a fierce naval engagement, only to be captured and taken prisoner to Kiel. When a chance discovery of a hidden grenade sparks a daring escape, Conlon's men seize an abandoned U-boat and make a desperate run for open sea through enemy fire. With nothing but oil in their tanks and no torpedoes to speak of, they race toward the harbor entrance knowing every gun in the port will be trained on them.
