Submarine Attack #16

Kapitan Ernst Muller, a principled World War I veteran commanding U-315, clashes with his ruthless executive officer Leutnant Hans Bohann over Nazi ideology and the treatment of helpless enemies at sea. When Muller is given command of a U-boat fleet with Bohann—now an ambitious Uberleutnant in charge of U-392—placed under him as a political watchdog, their opposing codes of honor set them on a collision course in the North Atlantic. The tension between the old soldier's sense of duty and the Nazi's hunger for power explodes into a desperate confrontation neither man expected.

When Commander Haynes takes the atomic submarine Thumper under the Arctic ice, he discovers a Soviet vessel firing nuclear weapons in secret tests—and receives orders to observe and report. But when the Russian sub becomes trapped by shifting ice and begins taking on water, Haynes faces an impossible choice: pursue his mission or answer the call of sailors in mortal danger. This tense Cold War encounter becomes something far more human than either nation's strategy.

A Navy tug left behind in U-boat-infested waters becomes an unwitting decoy when a German submarine commandeers her as cover to hunt Allied ships, leaving the captain and crew trapped and helpless. When a destroyer falls victim to the trap, the tug's men devise a desperate gambit to turn the tables—deliberately sinking their own vessel to lure the U-boat alongside for a final confrontation. It's a cat-and-mouse game on the high seas where survival depends on outsmarting a cunning enemy.

The submarine Blue Skate races to rescue civilians and stranded Marines from the Philippines in 1942, but finds herself trapped in a narrow cove after sinking two Japanese ships—unable to dive deep enough to escape, with hostile forces closing in from shore. Commander Ahern devises a desperate plan: volunteers must guide a raft loaded with explosives and torpedoes down the channel to destroy a sunken destroyer blocking their only route to open water. With 78 refugees packed below decks and Japanese guns raking the surface, the crew fights through impossible odds for one final shot at freedom.
