Submarine Attack #31

In 1961, Lt. Comdr. Lyle Martinson commands an atomic-powered Polaris submarine taking up station in the cold Northern seas, but before the USS Dennison can begin her patrol, Soviet agents work to undermine the mission—first by stirring up anti-American sentiment among locals in Scotland, then by plotting something far more sinister. When sabotage attempts on shore fail, the real danger surfaces as the sub heads into hostile waters with classified intelligence and nuclear missiles aboard.

The U.S.S. Sarasota sets sail on a goodwill cruise through the Mediterranean and Middle East, with the State Department counting on Captain Douglas Craig's crew to win hearts and influence minds—but the Soviet Union has other plans, dispatching saboteurs to undermine the mission at every port. When the Sarasota pulls into Alexandria, Egypt, carefully orchestrated provocations and planted incidents threaten to make the American sailors look like troublemakers, forcing the captain to trust his crew's character when the stakes couldn't be higher.

In "Some Must Die," Henegan and Williams man the deck gun on a submarine as it plunges beneath the waves, leaving their fate uncertain. Though the crew believes they’ve perished, the two survivors swim to shore on a nearby island and are eventually rescued.
