5 out of 5 stars
by crmcdonaDec 29, 2019
Interesting details from those who served.
Great into chapters about building the boat in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, boot camp, psychological and physiological dangers of submarine service. Lots of personal quotes and pictures from those who served on the Puffer. Much detail on the heroics to save the boat during the first war patrol after a severe depth charge attack. Detailed charts of all names, rates, and dates for those who served on the Puffer during WWII.
