SILENT RUNNING: MY YEARS ON A WORLD WAR II ATTACK SUBMARINE
by Vice Admiral USN Ret James F Calvert

Author's research copy. Underlining throughout. From rigorous training and shakedown cruises off the coast of New England, to tense patrols within shouting distance of Japan's major cities, USS Jack became one of the sharpest attack boats in the fleet. In June 1943, the Jack made its first patrol into Japanese waters, With the author at the controls and skipper, Tommy Dykers at the periscope, the Jack made five torpedo hits and achieved four confirmed kills. Despite engine problems and the continued failure of torpedo detonators early in the war, the boat continued to take its toll on enemy shipping.
