Submarine Attack #39

In 1943, Lt. Mike Magee served aboard the U.S.S. Wandary in the heavily-mined Baltic Sea under the command of Lt. Comdr. Howard Ryall, hunting Nazi shipping in enemy waters where every surfacing meant risking discovery. Twenty years later, Magee recounts this harrowing patrol to a modern German political gathering, hoping to bridge old wounds—but his story of submarine warfare and narrow escapes stirs up painful memories and fierce resistance from those determined to forget their nation's defeat.

When the U.S.S. Archerfish stumbles upon an unescorted super-carrier being moved from Tokyo Bay in November 1944, the submarine's crew sees an opportunity that seemed impossible—but Shinano, despite her fearsome reputation as an unsinkable leviathan, carries a dangerous secret. Hastily converted from battleship to carrier and rushed to sea with an untrained crew and incomplete systems, the mighty warship proves far more vulnerable than her designers ever intended. This is the true story of how two torpedoes ended one of the war's greatest engineering ambitions in less than twenty hours at sea.

A troubled officer battles his own fear as the USS Graygar approaches Tokyo Bay on a dangerous war patrol, and the chief of the boat must decide whether to protect a friend or demand the courage the mission demands. When a Japanese fighter attack tests Lieutenant Frisbee's nerve, the crew—and the skipper who believed in him—will discover what he's really made of. "The Medal Man" explores the price of command and the thin line between compassion and duty in the unforgiving depths of submarine warfare.
