Silent Running

Ranked #22 in Submarines

A riveting, tension-filled chronicle of life underwater by a much decorated hero who became the second youngest rear admiral in the history of the Navy. Filled with harrowing details of sinking Japanese vessels, surviving their assaults and capturing downed pilots. Culminates in Calvert's unauthorized visit, with three other officers, to Tokyo just prior to the official surrender--making them the first Americans to reach Japan's capital. less
