Submarine Attack #23

When young Seaman John Scott joins the USS Garfish for war patrol in the North Atlantic during World War II, he discovers his new commanding officer is Lieutenant Curly Ralston—the man Scott blames for his father's death aboard a sunken submarine years earlier. Now Scott must navigate his bitter resentment while the Garfish hunts German U-boats in dangerous waters, where duty and personal vendetta collide.

Lt. Comdr. Harold G. "Sandbar" Saunders pilots his fleet submarine into a shallow, hostile harbor to insert a dozen Navy saboteurs—only to find the waters mined and enemy artillery waiting. With Japanese patrol planes and Communist forces closing in, Saunders must thread his way through deadly obstacles to extract his men and get the sub back to open water. It's a tense wartime rescue mission where one miscalculation could cost everyone aboard.

Lieutenant Commander Al Beeker is the ruthless commanding officer of the USS Sailfish, a submarine whose relentless captain has earned the grim nickname "the Cast-Iron Captain" by pushing his crew—and himself—to the absolute limit on every patrol. When his latest cruise returns with heavy casualties and men begging for transfers, an old chief petty officer stays behind, determined to witness the moment when Beeker's iron resolve finally cracks. As the Sailfish sails into dangerous waters off Luzon, Beeker drives his inexperienced crew through grueling drills and bold surface attacks that test every nerve—but will the captain's unshakeable discipline hold, or is he chasing a victory that might cost them all their lives?
