About This Book
A first-person logbook recounts life aboard a wartime submarine, mixing vivid descriptions of daily inconveniences and crew camaraderie with precise operational detail. The narrator records patrol episodes: stalking and sinking merchant and transport vessels, seizing prizes, lying on the sea bottom to rest, and narrow escapes during high-speed chases. Interludes shift between dark seriousness and lighter anecdote, including an episode involving a bulldog and the peculiar routines of onboard living. The episodic chapters move through raids, hazards, and tense moments en route to the vessel’s eventual homeward passage.
