About the Book

What would motivate men to seek out what may have been the most dangerous branch of the service? By the end of the war over 3,500 submariners, over to 23 percent of the force, never returned from their missions; fifty-two World War II submarines are "still on patrol".

From the Subase radio shack to submarine relief crew, then he eventually made it onboard the USS Trout (SS 202) where he served as one of the radiomen for eight war patrols. Brown's first war patrol on the Trout was in support of the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo where two submarines provided weather and logistics information to the attacking fleet. After that the Trout participated in the Battle of Midway, numerous battles, and several special missions to Japanese occupied Philippines landing men and materials and rescuing escaped P.O.W.s. Brown was on scene for surface attacks against enemy coastal shipping and torpedo attacks against ships as large as aircraft carriers and as rare as an enemy submarine. His tales contain scenes of both hostile aggression against Japanese warships as well as exceptional h
