DOWN THE HATCH

The dedicated audience for all submarine books will find this to their liking despite the thoroughly British implications, references and innuendoes. The little gems of anecdote, sharp character vignettes and a few sustained examples of superb yarn-spinning help surmount the other hurdles for American readers. It is an inside picture of the shakedown cruise and the war games of a submarine, its crew and officers.
